2019 Map of Fourtown Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this aquatic landscape along the border of St. Louis and Lake Counties, defined by a dense network of interconnected waterways and portage routes. Central to this wilderness is Fourtown Lake, surrounded by smaller basins such as Boot Lake, Fairy Lake, and Tin Can Mike Lake. The lack of primary roads emphasizes the area's character as a managed natural interior, where travel is dictated by historical winter trails and portage paths. Notable transit markers include the Angleworm Trail in the northwest and the Mudro Access Road, which provides a rare point of vehicular entry. In the southern portion, the T64N Trail Association paths and Range River Winter route illustrate how the landscape is traversed in different seasons. The presence of features like Whisky Jack Lake and the White Hills reflects the traditional naming conventions of this Northwoods region.
