About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Minnesota, defined by its complex network of interconnected waterways and specialized portage routes. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate drainage systems where Range River and Grassy Creek connect numerous remote bodies of water like Fourtown Lake and Mudro Lake. The map reveals a specific infrastructure for wilderness access, including the Mudro Access Road and the Angleworm Trail, alongside seasonal winter routes such as Tin Can - Fourtown - Winter.

The boundary between St. Louis Co and Lake Co bisects the eastern portion of the sheet, cutting through lakes such as Bullet Lake and Range Lake. Notable for outdoor enthusiasts and historians of the Boundary Waters region, the map documents the specific locations of Jackfish Bay and Sandpit Lake, while also noting private or local named routes like the Zupec, Frank and Mackie, Jay R. designations near the southern border.
