About this map

Gunflint Camp and a dense network of glacial lakes define this portion of the Superior National Forest in Cook County. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Pine Mountain and the winding course of the Brule River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Swamper Cr and Woodpile Cr. The mapping of these waterways, from Northern Light Lake to the smaller Muckwa Lake and Muma Lake, reflects a complex drainage pattern characteristic of the Arrowhead Region.

Access through this remote timberland is provided by forest routes such as Lima Mtn Rd and Pine Mountain Rd. The distribution of water bodies like Musquash Lake, Mush Lake, and Pine Mountain Lake highlights the importance of the Misquah Hills area for regional conservation and recreational geography. The presence of Assinika Lake and Stony Lake in the northeast corner further illustrates the high density of freshwater resources in this protected wilderness.
