About this map

Kirtlands Warbler Wildlife Management Area occupies a significant portion of this landscape along the Presque Isle Co Montmorency Co line. This region is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and river systems, including the Rainy River Flooding and the headwaters of the North Branch Thunder Bay River. The terrain is marked by numerous isolated water bodies like Upper Tomahawk Lake, Lower Tomahawk Lake, and Grass Lake, which are interconnected by a system of rural roads and trails such as Atlanta Trl and Rainy Lake Rd. The presence of specialized conservation zones and the lack of dense settlement suggest a focus on wildlife habitat and recreational management. This geography creates a unique hydrographic pattern where the West Branch Upper Rainy River and smaller creeks drain a series of basins including Rainbow Lake and McAvoy Lake.
