About this map

The Superior National Forest defines this aquatic landscape, where a complex network of waterways facilitates movement through the Northwoods. Large water bodies like Farm Lake, Fall Lake, and Garden Lake are linked by the Kawishiwi River and its southern branch, the South Kawishiwi River. The map illustrates the historical importance of overland travel between these basins, specifically through the 4-Mile Portage and the Ella Hall-Mud portage routes.

Local landmarks such as Mile Island and Charles Island sit within the larger lakes, while smaller basins like Pea Soup Lake, Sourdough Lake, and Muskeg Lake fill the surrounding terrain. Recreational and access routes are well-documented, including the Stub Lake Trail and the S. Farm Ski Trail. Named residential or access roads like Makela, William W. and Thomforde, L. W. suggest the presence of specific landowners or localized settlements within the forest boundaries.
