2013 Map of Deer Yard Lake

About this map

Deer Yard Lake and the surrounding Superior National Forest define this landscape along the North Shore of Lake Superior. The terrain is marked by sharp elevation drops toward the lake, where the Cascade River flows past Cascade Falls to its mouth. Strategic vantage points like the Cascade Lookout Tower overlook a network of forest routes, including Ward Lake Rd and Forest Rte 159. Coastal access is concentrated along State Hwy 61 and Cascade Beach Rd, tracing the shoreline near Black Point. The drainage patterns of Murmur Cr and Indian Camp Cr illustrate the complex watershed of this wilderness area in the early 21st century.
