About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the intricate shorelines of Kabetogama Lake and Namakan Lake meet. The map reveals a labyrinth of water and land, characterized by numerous named islands such as Boblore Island, Foote Island, and Filla Island. For those researching local landmarks or genealogical sites, the presence of Cemetery Island and Indian Point near Tar Point provides specific points of interest.

The winding course of the Ash River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, punctuated by Ash River Falls and the Ash River Campground. Evidence of forest management and fire observation is found at the Ash River Lookout Tower, situated near Forest Rte 493. Smaller interior water bodies like Ek (Leif) Lake and Cruiser Lake dot the dense forest between the larger lake systems, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this borderland region.
