About this map

Eagle Mountain and the Misquah Hills dominate this high-relief landscape within the Superior National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates a dense network of glacial lakes and rugged interior terrain, characteristic of the Boundary Waters region. Notable water bodies including Winchell Lake to the north and the expansive Brule Lake to the south define the hydrological character of the area.

Small, isolated lakes like Redeye Lake, Skinny Lake, and Footsteps Lake are scattered throughout the hills, connected by seasonal drainage patterns and portage routes implied by the topography. The map serves as a detailed record of the wilderness as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing no developed roads or permanent settlements, preserving the primitive state of this remote Cook County backcountry.
