2019 Map of Conners Island

About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this northern wilderness, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada follows a complex aquatic path through the Granite River and Gneiss Lake. The landscape is defined by the massive Saganaga Lake to the north and Sea Gull Lake to the south, connected by a network of smaller water bodies such as Prayer Lake, Ambush Lake, and Tepee Lake. This 2019 survey illustrates the intricate shoreline of islands like Conners Island and Oskenonton Island, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Boundary Waters region. Transportation is limited to a few established routes, including the iconic Gunflint Trail and the Gunflint Trails Snowmobile path, which emphasize the area's role as a modern gateway to remote recreation and natural resource management.
