2019 Map of Lima Mountain

About this map

The Misquah Hills dominate this high-country landscape within the Superior National Forest, showcasing a complex glacial geography of ridges and interconnected waterways. The elevation peaks at Lima Mtn and Brule Mtn, while the South Brule River and its southern branch, the S Brule River, provide the primary drainage for dozens of named basins including Marshall Lake, Bower Trout Lake, and Abita Lake. This interior wilderness is accessed by a network of specialized routes, from the industrial-named The Grade in the south to the Expressway Route and the Kemo Lake Road Association paths. The density of smaller water bodies such as Rum Lake, Sled Lake, and Lullaby Lake highlights the remote nature of the terrain, where timber management and recreational forest use define the modern footprint of West Cook County.
