About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this aquatic landscape along the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The map is dominated by a complex network of interconnected glacial lakes, including the expansive Knife Lake and its distinctive South Arm. This 2019 survey documents the primitive character of the wilderness area where movement is dictated by water and footpaths rather than roads.

The historic Kekekabic Trail winds through the central portion of the quadrangle, passing south of Kekekabic Lake and Kek Lake. This trail serves as a primary overland artery connecting a series of smaller named water bodies such as Strup Lake, Wisini Lake, and Bakekana Lake. The intricate shoreline of Sema Lake and the proximity of the border at Amoeber Lake highlight the region's role as a protected transboundary corridor, preserved for its natural hydrology and lack of modern development.
