2013 Map of Jackfish Lake

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines this wilderness landscape within the Superior National Forest. This 2013 survey follows the aquatic boundary through the sprawling waters of Crooked Lake, where the border meanders southward toward Jackfish Lake. The map details a primitive backcountry environment characterized by a dense network of interior water bodies, including Wabosons Lake, Sash Lake, and Circle Lake. Along the eastern shore of the waterway, distinct geological and navigational markers such as Table Rock and Picture Rock serve as landmarks for those navigating the border lakes. The topography is dominated by small, interconnected lakes like Sauna Lake and Frolic Lake, illustrating the complex glaciated terrain of the Minnesota-Ontario boundary region where the land is as much water as it is forest.
