2019 Map of Kangas Bay

About this map

The vast waterway network of the Superior National Forest defines this area, where the South Kawishiwi River and Bear Island River connect a series of major lakes. The northern boundary is dominated by White Iron Lake and the distinctively named Beargrease Island, while the southern expanse is filled by the Birch Lake Reservoir. Development is largely tied to the waterfront and seasonal recreation, evidenced by the Chippewa Shores and Kawishiwi Summer Homes South settlements.
