1963 Map of Snow Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada bisects this water-dominated landscape within the Superior National Forest. This 1963 survey, photorevised in the mid-1980s, delineates the intricate shoreline of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, where the massive expanse of Trout Lake and Wilkins Bay meets the Canadian waters of Thompson Lake. Historically significant transport routes are documented through labels like Dawson Portage and Beatty Portage, which connect these sprawling glacial lakes. The map provides a high-resolution look at the complex island and bay systems of the Rainy River District, including Sandbar Island and Snow Bay. Numerous campsite locations are marked, reflecting the area's established role as a remote wilderness destination during the latter half of the twentieth century. Small interior water bodies such as Auchagah Lake, Norway Lake, and Beatty Lake are meticulously mapped within the protected forest boundaries.
