About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and the significant elevations of the Misquah Hills. This region includes Lima Mtn and Brule Mtn, representing some of the highest points in the state. The complex hydrology is anchored by the South Brule River and its northern branch, the S Brule River, which connect a series of water bodies including Bower Trout Lake, Marshall Lake, and Vista Lake.

Logistical access to this wilderness is defined by specialized routes such as the Expressway Route, The Grade, and the Kemo Lake Road Association. Historical land use is evidenced by the Fiddle Lake Pit (State) and various spurs like the Twin Lakes Spur, suggesting a landscape shaped by both natural preservation and managed resources. Smaller tributaries like Stickle Cr and Middle Cr weave between the peaks, feeding into larger basins like Ball Club Lake and Osprey Lake.
