1959 Map of Munker Island

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Saganaga Lake and Sea Gull Lake dominate this map of the international border between Minnesota and Ontario. This 1959 field check, later updated in 1986, captures the intricate network of islands and water bodies that define the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. On the Canadian side, the Quetico Provincial Park landscape includes Cache Point and Jocks Narrows, while the American side within the Superior National Forest features landmarks like Munker Island and American Point. The presence of Trails End and the Sunflower Trail indicates the early recreational infrastructure of the region. Local nomenclature is well-preserved, with uniquely named features such as Hivernant Lake, Grandpa Lake, and Meditation Lake. A footbridge and various boat ramps provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical accessibility of this wilderness before and during its modern federal designation.
