About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this aquatic wilderness along the international border between the United States and Canada. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and connecting waterways, including the sequence of Sunday, Saturday, Friday, and Thursday bays along the northern edge of Crooked Lake. This geography reflects the primitive character of the Boundary Waters, where movement is dictated by the water rather than roads.

Internal drainage features such as Bungee Cr and Sinneeg Cr feed a series of smaller, isolated water bodies like Ritual, Papoose, and Chippewa. The boundary between St. Louis and Lake counties bisects the quadrangle, illustrating how political lines were drawn through this labyrinth of water and timber. Local history researchers can trace the specific naming conventions of the era, from the weekday bays to culturally descriptive names like Maingan and Pakwene.
