2011 Map of Ogishkemuncie Lake

About this map

Ogishkemuncie Lake sits at the heart of this intricate aquatic landscape, part of a dense network of glacial water bodies in Cook County. The map shows a region defined by complex shorelines and interconnected basins, including the sprawling Gabimichigami Lake and the elongated South Arm Knife Lake. This 2011 survey records the hydrography of a wilderness area where land and water are inextricably linked, with smaller features like Spice Lake, Eddy Lake, and the curiously named Skindance Lake filling the spaces between larger catchments. The absence of roads or developed infrastructure emphasizes the primitive character of the terrain, where travel is dictated by the portages and passages between names like Agamok Lake and Mueller Lake. For those studying the geography of northern Minnesota, this map provides a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns and the specific placement of landmarks such as Kekekabic Ponds and Jasper Lake.
