About this map

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness dominates this 1981 survey of northeastern Lake County, showing a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways interconnected by portage trails. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Kawishiwi River, which flows through the Superior National Forest past a Gaging Station and several marked rapids.

Logistics for the era are visible along Fernberg Road, providing a primary artery for forest access and leading to various Gravel Pit sites and a designated Public Access point on Tofte Lake. The map serves as a vital record of the wilderness boundary and the specific names of smaller water bodies such as Gem Lake, Uranus Lake, and Section Twelve Lake, many of which are only accessible via the numerous Portage routes documented between Ojibway Lake and its neighbors.
