About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this intricate northern landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes and narrow waterways dominates the geography. The map reveals an area defined by its hydrology, centered on the sprawling reaches of Crab Lake and the northern tip of Burntside Lake. To the north, Cummings Lake and Silaca Lake feed into the Korb River, illustrating the interconnected drainage patterns typical of the region.

While largely a wilderness of water and forest, human passage is marked by a few specific routes in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Roads such as Wolf Lake Rd, Harder Cartway, and the trail at Wolf Creek Pass provide the primary access points into this labyrinth of islands and peninsulas, including named landforms like Snellman Island and Beach Island. This survey captures the area as it appeared in the early 21st century, focusing on the preserved natural features and the recreational waterways of Saint Louis County.
