2013 Map of South Fowl Lake

About this map

South Fowl Lake dominates this boundary landscape where the international border separates Cook County, Minnesota from Ontario, Canada. The terrain is defined by the significant hydrological network of the Pigeon River and Stump River, which carve through the heavily forested regions protected within the Superior National Forest. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the water bodies and topographical contours that have historically dictated travel and logging routes along the borderlands. The presence of Portage Brook underscores the importance of traditional water-and-land transit paths in this part of the Arrowhead Region, where the land remains largely undeveloped and focused on conservation and resource management.
