2013 Map of Ogishkemuncie Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest defines this northern landscape, where the border between Lake and Cook counties intersects a dense network of glacial water bodies. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the hydrology and topographical relief of the Boundary Waters region, showing the intricate connections between names like S Arm Knife Lake, Kekekabic Ponds, and Mugwump Lake. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and depressions that create distinct drainage patterns, evident in the positioning of smaller basins like Topaz Lake and Ledge Lake. For those interested in the preservation of wilderness areas, the map documents the established boundaries and remote topography that remain largely untouched by modern development. This detailed study allows for a precise examination of the natural corridors and shoreline configurations of Eddy Lake and Calico Lake, reflecting the enduring character of the Minnesota wilderness.
