About this map

Superior National Forest defines this borderland landscape in Cook County, where the international boundary follows a chain of lakes from N Foul Lake to S Fowl Lake. This 2016 survey documents a remote wilderness managed for both conservation and recreational use. The historic Border Route and the S Fowl Snowmobile Trail traverse the ridgelines and valleys above the Royal River, providing access to isolated water bodies like John Lake and Little John Lake.

The hydrography of the region is complex, with the Lower Stump River and Stump River feeding into larger basins, while Portage Brook cuts through the southern reaches near Devilfish Lake. Infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily on the McFarland Road (Arrowhead Trl) and Shoe Lake Rd, which serve as the primary conduits for travelers moving through these dense woods and wetlands between McFarland Lake and the Canadian border.
