2016 Map of Quadga Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this entire northern landscape, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and river systems. The Powwow Trail winds through the northern half of the quadrangle, passing by numerous named water bodies including Rock of Ages Lake, Mirror Lake, and Campfire Lake. This region in Lake County is characterized by its hydrological density, where the Isabella River and Little Isabella River drain through marshlands and dense woodlands. The southern portion of the sheet highlights the accessibility of these remote waters, specifically at Bog Lake where the Bog Lake Carry Down Access is noted. Named lakes like Quadga Lake and Superstition Lake suggest the localized nomenclature of early twentieth-century exploration and forestry management within this protected wilderness area.
