1959 Map of Ester Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Quetico Provincial Park and the Superior National Forest meet along the international boundary in this 1959 field-checked survey. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the expansive Saganaga Lake and Cypress Lake. The map reveals the intricate border topography where Hunter Island sits across from the American shore, separated by narrow channels and rapids such as High Falls. A genuine insight into the region's wilderness character is found in the naming of remote water bodies like Lake of the Clouds, Ester Lake, and Mist Lake, which are linked by portages and swampy passages rather than roads. This survey, published in the mid-1960s, serves as a detailed guide to the hydrological connections of the Boundary Waters, showing the transition from Cache Bay into the deeper interior of the northern woods.
