1981 Map of Ojibway Lake

About this map

Kawishiwi River flows through a complex network of glacial lakes and portage routes in this northern Minnesota landscape. This 1980s-era survey documents the intersection of the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The map highlights a transition between road-accessible recreational points and protected wilderness, with Fernberg Road providing the primary corridor to several water access points. Notable landmarks for navigation include a public access site on Tofte Lake and a boat ramp on Ojibway Lake. The intricate hydrography includes smaller bodies such as Section Twelve Lake, Kammela Lake, and Uranus Lake, alongside larger systems like Moose Lake and Wood Lake. Several gravel pits and a gaging station on the river reflect the light infrastructure supporting this protected forest region.
