About this map

Kekekabic Trail cuts through the heart of the Superior National Forest in this 2016 survey, tracing a path through an incredibly dense network of glacial water bodies along the United States and Canada border. The northern boundary is defined by the expansive Knife Lake and its South Arm, where the international line zigzags across the water. This area is characterized by its lack of roads or permanent settlements, reflecting a landscape preserved in a primitive state for recreation and conservation.

Water dominates the topography, from larger basins like Kekekabic Lake and Amoeber Lake to smaller, isolated ones such as Mugwump Lake, Sedative Lake, and Bokekana Lake. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns and small portages between these lakes, which have served as primary travel routes for centuries. High points like the terrain surrounding Whist Lake provide the only significant relief in a region defined by its complex shoreline and thousands of small islands.
