About this map

Lake Polly serves as the central focal point for this wilderness landscape in Schroeder Township, where a complex network of waterways defines the terrain. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes interconnected by narrow channels and small rivers, including the southward-flowing Phoebe River and the winding Louise River. This hydrological system is anchored by substantial water bodies such as Malberg Lake and Kawasachong Lake, which dominate the western and southern reaches.

The presence of numerous smaller, uniquely named basins like Bowstring Lake, Kivaniva Lake, and Anit Lake suggests a landscape largely untouched by significant road infrastructure, accessible primarily through water routes. These features highlight the intricate natural drainage patterns of Cook County, where the transition between lakes and river systems like Blue Jay Creek create a continuous chain of navigable water throughout the region.
