About this map

Superior National Forest defines the character of this borderland landscape, where a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways marks the international boundary between the Canada United States of America. The map reveals a dense concentration of water bodies including Pine Lake, Mountain Lake, and West Pike Lake, separated by prominent ridges such as Moose Mtn. These lakes are connected by a historical system of portages and hiking routes, most notably the Border Route Trl and specialized connectors like the East Pike-West Pike Trl.

The southern portion of the sheet shows a shift toward localized infrastructure near the Crocodile River, with labeled routes such as Greenwood Shores Road and Cedar Trail. The drainage patterns of Puff Creek and Puff Cr emphasize the intricate hydrology of the region, where numerous smaller basins like Tomato Lake, Bean Lake, and Mirage Lake fill the depressions between granite outcrops and wooded ridges.
