About this map

The international border between Minnesota and Ontario defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the Pigeon River flows through a heavily forested wilderness. This 2019 survey of the Superior National Forest captures a terrain dominated by hydrologic networks, from the broad wetlands of the Swamp River to smaller drainages like Irish Cr and Carlson Cr. The topography is punctuated by the significant elevation of Farquhar Peak in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Human activity is primarily oriented around recreation and forest management, evidenced by the presence of the Superior Hiking Trail and a network of unpaved forest roads such as Jackson Lake Rd and Otter Lake Rd. Named water bodies like Jackson Lake, Prout Lake, and Stevens Lake are scattered throughout the dense woodland, while various parcels of land are specifically designated as SNF units within the broader forest boundaries.
