About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States follows a serpentine path through this remote stretch of Superior National Forest. Defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and narrow waterways, the landscape is anchored by the Arrow River and prominent bodies of water such as Clearwater Lake, Caribou Lake, and Crocodile Lake. The map details a significant wilderness infrastructure of historic portages and paths, including the Border Route and the Rose - Rove passage.

South of the border, the area is crisscrossed by specialized routes such as the Gunflint Trail, the Swamper Trail, and the Gunflint Trails Snowmobile path, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on seasonal transit and forest management. Named features like East Bearskin Lake and the Crocodile River illustrate the complex hydrography of the Cook County interior, where elevations fluctuate across the granite-carved terrain of the Boundary Waters region.
