1981 Map of Ensign Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Prairie Portage serves as a vital historical nexus along the international boundary, connecting the waters of Birch Lake and Sucker Lake within this northern wilderness. As it appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the map documents the administrative and recreational infrastructure of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park. The presence of a Ranger Cabin and a Port of Entry at the narrows between Inlet Bay and Basswood Lake highlights the managed nature of this transborder landscape. Numerous portage routes and island features like Green Island and Sunday Island delineate the traditional travel corridors used by canoeists. The dense network of water bodies, including Ensign Lake and Newfound Lake, illustrates a complex glaciated terrain where land is defined by its proximity to water and established wilderness boundaries.
