2013 Map of Crocodile Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest defines this international border landscape, where the jagged boundary between Cook County and Ontario follows a chain of elongated water bodies. Mountain Lake, Watap Lake, and Rove Lake form a natural frontier, with the terrain falling sharply toward the Canadian line. Further south, the interior is characterized by a dense network of lakes including Crocodile Lake, Clearwater Lake, and Caribou Lake, connected by minor roads like S Clearwater Rd and E Bearskin Rd. The drainage pattern is anchored by the Crocodile River, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary road access points and topographical elevations in a region where the water-to-land ratio is exceptionally high, illustrating the complex geography that has historically dictated travel and transport along the border.
