1957 Map of Quetico

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Quetico Provincial Park and the adjacent Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness form a massive transboundary wilderness of interconnected waterways along the Canada-United States border. This survey details the complex lacustrine geography of the northern woods, highlighting the vast Hunter Island bounded by international waters. While much of the landscape is defined by its pristine state, industrial activity is prominent near Atikokan, where the Steep Rock Mine and Caland Mine operate near the shores of Steep Rock Lake. The Canadian National railway, labeled Can Nat, provides the primary east-west transport corridor through the northern section, connecting remote settlements like Kashabowie and Sapawe. Large water bodies such as Lac des Mille Lacs and Saganaga Lake dominate the terrain, serving as critical landmarks for both historical navigation and the management of Superior National Forest.
