2013 Map of Coleman Island

About this map

Coleman Island and the surrounding borderlands of the Superior National Forest define this 2013 hydrographic study along the international boundary between Minnesota and Ontario. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways, where the United States of America and Canada border weaves through the waters of Lac la Croix. The map documents a wilderness character largely devoid of modern roads, emphasizing natural features like Ge-be-on-e-quet Lake and the smaller Twentyfive Island. Small drainages like Pocket Creek and Hag Cr connect a series of interior lakes, including Profit Lake, Mug Lake, and Wabang Lake. This survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and elevation contours in a region where the water-to-land ratio remains the primary geographic influence.
