2016 Map of Farm Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this water-rich landscape in Lake County, where a complex network of interconnected lakes and portages defines the local geography. The map documents a significant wilderness corridor featuring Farm Lake, Garden Lake, and Fall Lake, which serves as a gateway to the more remote interior. Evidence of historical and modern recreation is visible through the 4-Mile Portage and several dedicated paths such as the Stub Lake Trail and S Farm Ski Trail. The presence of Newton Falls between Newton Lake and Fall Lake illustrates the natural elevation changes that once required manual transport of watercraft. Beyond the larger basins, numerous smaller bodies of water like Ella Hall Lake, Muskeg Lake, and Slumber Lake are scattered throughout the timberland, often accessible only by these established portage routes.
