About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern landscape where the international boundary between the United States and Canada cuts through Magnetic Lake and Gunflint Lake. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways and portage routes, including the Pine River and more remote bodies like Tuscarora Lake and Copper Lake. High ground is marked by prominent landmarks such as Magnetic Rock and the Gunflint Lookout, which oversaw this timber-rich and historically significant corridor.

Transportation through the dense woods relies on historic paths and modern recreational routes. The Gunflint Trail serves as the primary artery, supported by the Kekebabic Trail and specialized tracks like the Gunflint Trails Snowmobile system. Notable connectivity points such as Round Lake Access and the Tuscarora Road illustrate how this wilderness remains accessible for forestry and exploration, while names like Mine Lake hint at the mineral interests that have long drawn people to the Border Hole region.
