About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this landscape in the mid-1950s, revealing a complex network of glacial lakes and portage-connected waterways within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Large water bodies like Burntside Lake and Crab Lake are central features, punctuated by numerous islands such as Pine Island, Beach Island, and Snailman Island. The map illustrates the layered management of Minnesota’s north woods, showing where the Burntside State Forest and Bear Island State Forest intersect with federal wilderness lands.
