About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern landscape, where the international boundary between Minnesota and Canada meanders through a dense network of interconnected waterways. The survey highlights the rugged aquatic geography of the border country, anchored by the expansive waters of Iron Lake and Lac La Croix. Moving east, the waters of Crooked Lake and its Sunday Bay reveal the intricate shoreline that defines this region.

Remote portages and paths like LaclaCroix Pond Iron and Fox Lake-Stuart connect isolated water bodies such as Stuart Lake, Sterling Lake, and Fox Lake. The flow of the Beartrap River and numerous small tributaries like Sterling Cr and Spring Cr underscore the complex hydrology of the wilderness. Landmarks such as Curtain Falls and Three Island serve as significant navigational points for those traversing this borderland territory.
