1976 Map of Basswood Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Basswood Lake dominates this aerial perspective of the Superior National Forest boundary waters, where the United States Canada border threads through a complex archipelago. This 1976 orthophotograph, produced by the Geological Survey, captures the dense boreal forest and crystalline water patterns before modern digital imaging. Large reaches like Wind Bay and Ranger Bay reveal the jagged shoreline of the Quetico-Superior wilderness, while Hoist Bay marks a distinct finger of water in the south. The imagery provides a clear view of the Ontario Minnesota international line, showing the remote character of this glaciated landscape where land and water are intricately intertwined.
