About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this section of northeastern Minnesota, where an intricate network of waterways and portage trails defines the wilderness character of the region. The map shows the convergence of the St. Louis and Lake County boundary lines amidst a landscape dominated by large water bodies like Fourtown Lake and Mudro Lake. Significant for its winter access routes, the area features specialized passages such as the Tin Can-Fourtown Winter Trail and the Range River Winter Trail.

Evidence of local management and naming is found in labels such as the T64N Trail Association, while names like Frank Zupec and Jay R Mackie appear alongside forest roads and spurs. The drainage system is anchored by the Range River and Spawn Creek, which feed into major basins and the eastern Jackfish Bay. This survey documents the modern state of these protected lands, preserving the locations of remote trails like the Angleworm Trail and the Home-Gull Trail.
