2013 Map of Lake Agnes

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this water-rich wilderness in St. Louis County, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and interconnected waterways. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Lake Agnes and Nina Moose Lake, which serve as central nodes for the region's drainage system. The Nina Moose River and Moose River flow through the interior, while the Dahlgren River and Boulder River provide significant drainage toward the north and east. This 2013 survey illustrates the preserved natural state of the Boundary Waters area, showing primitive portage routes such as the Portage River that connect these isolated basins. Distinctive water bodies like Oyster Lake, Ramshead Lake, and the southern reaches of Lac la Croix highlight the irregular, rocky shoreline typical of the Canadian Shield. Small tributaries including Mule Cr and Jerry Cr feed into larger basins like Mule Lake, maintaining the delicate hydrological balance of this protected forest.
