2019 Map of Marion Lake

About this map

Voyageurs National Park and the Superior National Forest meet in this Northwoods landscape, where water defines every boundary. The map captures a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways, from the broad reach of Elephant Lake in the southeast to the secluded Amundsen Lake in the northwest. This area serves as a significant recreational corridor, evidenced by the extensive Voyageur Snowmobile Trail that snakes across the northern sections and specialized routes like the Marion ATV Trail near Marion Lake. The presence of numerous unnamed wetlands and small basins like Pot Hole Lake reflects the region's characteristic post-glacial drainage pattern. Navigability and access are dictated by the Moose River and Johnson River, which link these interior basins to the larger wilderness systems beyond the quadrangle's edges.
