About this map

The South Kawishiwi River dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, winding through a complex network of glacial lakes and portages in Lake County. This 1980s USGS survey documents the intersection of several managed wilderness areas, including the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Superior National Forest, and the Stony River State Forest. The map detail shows the established South Kawishiwi River Campground and a nearby Experiment Sta (USFS), reflecting the region's long-standing role in forestry research and outdoor recreation.

Waterways define the movement across the terrain, with labels for Crocket Lake, Bogberry Lake, and Little Gabbro Lake marking the deep woods. Scattered Gravel Pits suggest the localized industrial activity required to maintain access roads like the one leading past Heart Lake and Harris Lake. This map serves as an essential record of the waterway boundaries and gaging stations used for resource management in the late 20th century.
