2016 Map of Kawishiwi Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this aquatic landscape, where a dense network of lakes and drainage systems defines the terrain at the boundary of Cook and Lake Counties. The northern half is dominated by significant water bodies such as Kawishiwi Lake, Kawasachong Lake, and Phoebe Lake, connected by minor waterways like Hog Creek and Bill Creek. Navigation through this wooded interior is facilitated by narrow corridors like Perent Lake Road and Hog Creek Spur A, which provide access to the more isolated southern reaches near Perent Lake. The hydrography reflects a complex glacial legacy, evidenced by the proximity of Cross River/Wringer Lake and Whitefish Lake near the eastern boundary, showing how the regional drainage patterns were established well before modern forestry management.
