About this map

The Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota contains a labyrinth of glacial lakes and portage trails. This 2022 survey documents the intricate hydrologic network where the Stuart River and various creeks like Baldpate Cr and Home Creek weave through a landscape dominated by water bodies. The terrain is notably marked by Pictured Rocks, while the Echo Trail serves as a primary corridor through this wilderness area.

Evidence of extensive recreational and backcountry infrastructure is clear through the numerous named paths, including the Angleworm Trl and the Slim Lake Loop Trl. From the large expanse of Big Lake in the northwest to the smaller basins of Hardtack Lake and Nels Lake, the map reflects the enduring character of the Boundary Waters region, where the naming of even minor features like Whisky Jack Lake suggests a long history of exploration and passage.
