About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this landscape in Lake County, defining a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways in northeastern Minnesota. The Isabella River and its tributary, the Little Isabella River, weave through the center of the sheet, connecting major water bodies like Quadga Lake and Bog Lake. This area is characterized by its numerous named lakes, ranging from the evocatively named Rock of Ages Lake and Superstition Lake in the north to John Lake and Rice Lake further south.

Surface access is limited to a few established corridors, most notably Tomahawk Rd in the southeast and Forest Rte 381 in the southwest. Smaller streams like Mitawan Cr drain the dense terrain, which includes dozens of secluded basins such as Kayoshk Lake, Mirror Lake, and Cargo Lake. The map provides a detailed view of the North Woods' hydrologic patterns and forest management routes used during the early 21st century.
