2019 Map of Farm Lake

About this map

The Superior National Forest defines this northern landscape, where a complex network of waterways and portages provides a window into traditional travel routes. Significant water bodies like Fall Lake and Farm Lake are connected by the Kawishiwi River and its southern branch, the South Kawishiwi River. The map meticulously documents various transportation paths, including the historic 4-Mile Portage and the Ella Hall-Mud route, which were essential for navigating between lakes such as Newton Lake and Ella Hall Lake. Landform details include Newton Falls and named islands like Mile Island and Charlies Island, offering precise reference points for local history. Several modern recreational routes are also noted, such as the Stub Lake Trail and the S Farm Ski Trail, alongside local roads named for residents or locations, including Makela William W and Garden Lake Road.
