About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses the entirety of this interior drainage landscape, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and slow-moving waterways. The Perent River serves as a central artery, flowing out of the expansive Perent Lake and meandering westward toward its junction with the Island River. This aquatic connectivity is a hallmark of the region, where numerous smaller bodies of water like Ferne Lake, Tomahawk Lake, and Kawishiwi Lake are interspersed among unnamed wetlands and depressions.

Road access is nearly nonexistent in this protected wilderness, with Lake 29 Rd providing one of the few named terrestrial routes in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The nomenclature of the smaller lakes reflects a naturalistic theme, from the avian-inspired Warbler Lake and Chickadee Lake to more whimsical or descriptive titles like Fungus Lake, Snusbox Lake, and Fool Hen Lake. The topographical detail captures the subtle elevation changes that direct the flow of Maniwaki Cr and Comfort Cr through this densely forested Lake County terrain.
