About this map

The Misquah Hills rise above a dense network of glacial lakes within the Superior National Forest, defining the landscape of this 2016 survey. This portion of the Boundary Waters wilderness is characterized by significant water bodies such as Brule Lake, Winchell Lake, and the complex cluster of the Middle Cone Lake and S-Cone Lake. The absence of roads highlights the primitive nature of the area, where travel is dictated by portages and the Brule Lake Trail.

Notable landmarks like Fishbox Island and Jock Mock Point offer specific reference points for navigating the expansive reach of Brule Lake. The map details smaller, isolated waters including Casket Lake, Famine Lake, and Poverty Lake, providing a precise record of the intricate hydrology and shoreline configurations that have drawn travelers and researchers to this part of Cook County for generations.
