About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this expansive northern Minnesota wetland and river system, where the boundary between St Louis Co and Lake Co runs through a landscape defined by glacial hydrology. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the sprawling waters of Seven Beaver Lake and the nearby Big Lake, which features the distinctively named Bungalow Bay. These water bodies serve as critical headwaters for the regional drainage network, including the Dunka River and the S Br Partridge River. Movement through this saturated terrain is facilitated by several forest corridors, such as Headwaters Spur and Stone/Big Lake. The map reveals a complex mosaic of marshlands and small basins like Lake Culkin and Swamp Lake, illustrating the preserved wilderness character maintained within the national forest system.
