About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses the remote water-dominated landscape along the international border between Minnesota and Canada. The region is defined by a complex network of interconnected waterways, where the irregular shoreline of Crooked Lake flows into Thursday Bay and Wednesday Bay. These larger bodies are surrounded by smaller interior lakes such as Wabosons Lake, Sash Lake, and the aptly named Sauna Lake, illustrating a terrain where land and water are inextricably linked.

Concrete navigation points appear along the border, including landmarks like Table Rock and Picture Rock. The map details the transition between Lake County and the Canadian territory, highlighting the rugged geography that has long served as a passage for North Woods travel. To the south, Jackfish Lake and Circle Lake sit among township boundaries, providing clear reference points for those tracing the historical surveying lines of the t65n r11w and t66n r11w blocks.
