2022 Map of Snow Bay

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada defines this remote section of the Northwoods, where the waters of Lac la Croix meet the rugged shoreline of the Superior National Forest. This modern 2022 survey captures the intricate network of glacial lakes and islands that characterize the Boundary Waters region. Notable water bodies such as Snow Bay, Auchagah Lake, and Loon Lake dominate the landscape, connected by a topography of dense forest and occasional portage routes. The presence of the Slim-Little Loon Trl provides a terrestrial link through the backcountry, while landmarks like Sandbar Island serve as navigational points for those traveling by water. The map reflects a landscape managed for conservation, showing the enduring character of the wilderness along the northern edge of St. Louis County.
