2011 Map of Basswood Lake East

About this map

Basswood Lake dominates this borderland landscape, where an intricate network of waterways and islands defines the geography of the northern frontier. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex aquatic environment along the international boundary, characterized by named landforms such as United States Point and a series of prominent islands including Washington Island, Lincoln Island, and the notably named Indian Grave Island. To the south, smaller water bodies like Wind Lake, Indiana Lake, and Washte Lake are connected through the wilderness terrain. The presence of the Wind Lake Dam indicates water management within this lakeland system, while numerous smaller islands like Squirrel Island and Norway Island pepper the expanses of the primary lake. The map serves as a detailed guide to the hydrography of the region, from the larger basins to secluded spots like Acorn Lake and Hula Lake.
