About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where a intricate network of waterways defines the region's geography. The Vermilion River flows through the southern portion of the map, passing through the dramatic Vermilion Gorge and near the Vermillion Falls Picnic Area. This area is characterized by an extensive system of glacial lakes and bays, including Sand Point Lake and its northern Staege Bay, as well as the namesake Johnson Lake.

Access into this heavily wooded terrain is provided by a series of forest routes, such as Forest Rte 491 and Forest Rd 203, which navigate the rises between water bodies like Mukooda Lake and Crane Lake. The map illustrates a wilderness-oriented landscape where traditional infrastructure is replaced by natural drainage patterns, with Rollick Creek and Dixon Cr linking the numerous lakes within the forest boundaries.
