About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this wilderness landscape along the international border between the United States and Canada. This remote corner of Cook County is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and portage-connected waterways, including the expansive Pine Lake and West Pike Lake. The Border Route follows the northern ridge lines, providing a historical hiking corridor through the backcountry north of Mountain Lake.

Evidence of recreational and forestry access is found in the south, where Greenwood Shores Road and the Cedar Trail approach Greenwood Lake. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Moose Mtn and a multitude of smaller basins such as Pemmican Lake, Spaulding Lake, and Tomato Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns and protected wilderness character of the Boundary Waters region in the early 21st century.
