About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this wilderness area along the international boundary, where the United States of America meets Canada. The landscape is defined by a dense network of interconnected waterways and portage routes, including Gunflint Lake, Magnetic Lake, and the winding Cross River. This modern survey details an extensive system of wilderness paths that follow old travel corridors, such as the Kekekabic Trl and the Border Route Trl.

Tracing the historical movement through this region, the map shows the transition from the Gunflint Trl into specialized paths like the Gunflint Trails Snowmobile Trl and the Magnetic Rock Trl. The interior is dotted with remote water bodies like Tuscarora Lake and Ham Lake, linked by trails such as the Tuscarora-Hubbub Trl. This area serves as a primary reference for the intricate geography of the Boundary Waters region, showing the relationship between small lakes like Swollen Ankle Lake and larger named systems.
