About this map

The Superior National Forest wilderness dominates this landscape, characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and portage-connected waterways within Schroeder Township. Significant water bodies like Alton Lake, Beth Lake, and the expansive Sawbill Lake define the terrain, reflecting the area's role as a gateway for backcountry navigation. The primary point of human congregating is the Sawbill Campground, located at the terminus of the Sawbill Trl, which serves as a vital entry point for Northwoods exploration.

Industrial and recreational access is marked by several forest roads and trails, including Perent Lake Rd and the uniquely named Timber Freak Loop. The drainage system is anchored by the Temperance River in the southeast corner, fed by smaller tributaries such as Plouff Cr and Sawbill Cr. This map preserves the 2013 configuration of these protected lands, capturing the balance between managed forest resources and undeveloped lake systems like Grace Lake and Big Snow Lake.
