2016 Map of Farquhar Peak

About this map

Farquhar Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of the Superior National Forest along the international border between Minnesota and Canada. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Pigeon River marks the northern boundary and the Swamp River flows through the central wetlands. Local transit and recreation are centered around a network of timber and forest roads such as Otter Lake Rd and Jackson Lake Rd, while the Superior Hiking Trail traverses the southern slopes. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact locations of remote water bodies like Prout Lake and Stevens Lake and reveals the drainage patterns of Carlson Creek and Irish Creek. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of industrial forest management and recreational wilderness in Cook County.
