1976 Map of Saganaga Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Superior National Forest and the Grand Portage State Forest dominate this borderland landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes defines the boundary between Minnesota and Ontario. The Gunflint Trail provides the primary corridor for human passage through the interior, winding toward the international waters of Gunflint Lake. The presence of the Gunflint Lookout Tower and Bearskin Lookout Tower reflects the mid-century priority of fire management in these vast timberlands. The intricate chain of water bodies, including Saganaga Lake, Rose Lake, and Mountain Lake, illustrates the historic voyageur routes and early trade corridors that utilized these interconnected passages long before the modern management of Cook County. The map preserves the 1970s state of these woods and waters, just before significant changes in wilderness management and recreational use patterns altered the region.
