2011 Map of Jackfish Lake

About this map

Jackfish Lake serves as a central point in this northern lake-and-rock landscape along the Minnesota-Ontario border. In 2011, this area remained characterized by its dense network of waterways and glacial terrain, with distinctive landmarks such as Table Rock and Picture Rock providing orientation amidst the complex shoreline of Crooked Lake. The intricate water systems, including Sash Lake, Wabosons Lake, and Frolic Lake, illustrate a wilderness geography where travel is defined by portages and aquatic navigation rather than roads. The presence of smaller features like Sauna Lake and Circle Lake suggests the localized character of this boundary region, which is managed in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service.
