About this map

Superior National Forest defines the protected character of this landscape in northeast Saint Louis County. This 2019 survey documents a complex network of waterways, centered on the expansive reaches of Vermilion Lake and its intricate shoreline. The map reveals a labyrinth of named islands and points, from the large Sioux Pine Island to smaller landforms like Steamboat Island and the Five Sisters Islands.

Portage routes and forest trails such as the Trout-Oriniack and Vermilion-Trout connect the major water bodies, including Trout Lake, Merritt Lake, and Oriniack Lake. These paths trace historical movement through the woods, providing a clear record of how the land and water intersect. The lack of modern development highlight the area's role as a preserved wilderness, where topography is marked by named landmarks like Norway Point and Windy Point.
