About this map

Superior National Forest defines this borderland landscape, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada follows the northern shorelines of Moose Lake and North Fowl Lake. The map details a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the Royal River and Stump River, which connect McFarland Lake to the surrounding wilderness. Travel through this roadless area is primary facilitated by the historic Border Route trail and the S Fowl Snowmobile Trail, reflecting the region's character as a managed wilderness preserve.

Grounding the southern portion of the sheet are more secluded water bodies such as Highlander Lake, Devilfish Lake, and Nisula Lake. Access to these remote points is traced via the McFarland Road (Arrowhead Trl) and Shoe Lake Rd, which provide the few terrestrial links into this densely wooded portion of Cook County. The intricate hydrography, from the larger East Pike Lake to the smaller Portage Brook, illustrates the vital role of water in the geographical and historical identity of this northern frontier.
