About this map

Lac la Croix dominates this northern wilderness landscape along the international border between the United States and Canada. Located within the Superior National Forest, the map reveals a complex aquatic network of islands and deep bays. Large landmasses like Coleman Island and Twentyfive Island are surrounded by smaller named water bodies, including Kelsey Lake, Mud Lake, and the distinctly shaped Lady Boot Bay.

Water navigation routes are traced through geological bottlenecks such as Fish Stake Narrows and along winding channels like Ge-be-on-e-quet Creek. The interior terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, from Pocket Lake in the northwest to Boulder Bay in the southeast. This map captures the remote character of the Boundary Waters region, where travel is dictated by the portages and waterways connecting isolated basins like Profit Lake and Green Lake.
