About this map

The international border between Minnesota and Canada cuts through the heart of this aquatic landscape, primarily defined by the intricate reaches of Crooked Lake. Within the Superior National Forest, the terrain is a dense network of water bodies and interconnected waterways. The lake names themselves follow a unique sequential nomenclature, featuring Sunday Bay, Saturday Bay, Friday Bay, and Thursday Bay, suggesting a historic route of travel or discovery through the northern wilderness.

South of the border, the map reveals a interior system of smaller lakes and creeks, including Bunggee Lake, Chippewa Lake, and the remote Pakwene Lake. The hydrography is further detailed by narrow passages like Bunggee Cr and Papoose Cr, which link these glacial basins. This area remains largely dominated by the natural features of the forest, with the St Louis Co and Lake Co line providing a modern administrative frame to the primitive landscape.
