2013 Map of Pine Lake East

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States cuts through the northern reaches of this wilderness area, following the chain of lakes in Cook County. Within the Superior National Forest, the landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where McFarland Lake serves as a central hub for the surrounding waters. A network of primary access routes, including Arrowhead Trl and Shoe Lake Rd, navigate the dense terrain, connecting smaller water bodies like Little John Lake and John Lake. The southeastern portion of the map is marked by the distinct passage of the Royal River as it flows into Royal Lake, eventually reaching the larger expanse of South Fowl Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Boundary Waters region, tracing the paths of Stump River and Portage Brook through these protected public lands.
