About this map

South Kawishiwi River and the Stony River dominate this portion of the Superior National Forest in Lake County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial hydrology and early federal land management. The northern reaches of the sheet are protected within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where portages and gaging stations underscore the region's importance for both recreation and water monitoring. A notable Experiment Sta (USFS) is situated near the riverbanks, reflecting mid-century forestry research initiatives.

Transportation through this dense forest is largely restricted to a Winter Trail and smaller unmarked paths, highlighting the area's isolation from major road networks. Dozens of small water bodies like Bogberry Lake, Nickel Lake, and August Lake are interspersed among gravel pits and low-lying wetlands. The presence of Bear Island and various named creeks like Filson Creek and Keeley Creek provide specific landmarks for those tracing the hydrographic history of the Minnesota Arrowhead region.
