About this map

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness defines the northern landscape of this map, where the international border between the United States and Canada runs through the center of Rose Lake and North Lake. This 1959 survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates a complex network of glacial lakes and portages used by generations of canoeists. The southern portion is crossed by the iconic Gunflint Trail, which provides access to established recreation sites like the Flour Lake Campground and East Bearskin Campground.

Detailed bathymetry for Hungry Jack Lake and its neighbors reveals the underwater topography that supports the region's wilderness character. Trails such as the Honeymoon Bluff Trail and Overlook are mapped alongside a landscape dominated by the Superior National Forest and the Pat Bayle State Forest, showing the intersection of managed timberlands and protected wilderness at the edge of the Thunder Bay District and Cook County boundary.
