About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes and watercourses defines the geography of Lake County. Large bodies of water like Silver Island Lake and Wanless Lake are connected by small streams such as Comfort Creek and the Dumbbell River. The map illustrates a region managed for both conservation and recreation, evidenced by the Silver Island Boat Landing and a web of forest service roads including Lake 29 East and Trappers Lake.

Modern land management is reflected in the naming of several smaller basins like Katydid Lake, Scanlon Lake, and Elixir Lake. Significant elevation changes are noted along the Hogback Lupus Loop and various spurs like Wanless Spur H, which trace the ridges between the wetlands. This 2022 survey provides a contemporary view of the wilderness access points and hydrological patterns within the heart of the national forest.
