2016 Map of Lake Polly

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this aquatic-heavy landscape, where a intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways defines the border between Lake and Cook counties. The Louse River flows through the central portion of the quadrangle, connecting varied basins such as Bowstring Lake and Trail Lake. This terrain is characterized by its density of named water bodies, including Malberg Lake and Perent Lake, which indicate a wilderness area largely untouched by traditional road infrastructure or permanent settlements. The presence of the Lake Co Cook Co boundary line cutting through several of these lakes highlights the complex administrative mapping of this remote northern Minnesota region. For those studying the hydrology and geography of the Boundary Waters vicinity, this sheet provides exact placement of smaller features like Redstart Lake and Snort Lake.
