About this map

The Canada-United States border runs through the center of this 2019 survey, cutting across the deep waters of North Lake and South Lake. Located within the Superior National Forest, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of interconnected glacial lakes and historic portages. The Gunflint Trail serves as the primary corridor through the area, accompanied by specialized routes like the Gunflint Trails Snowmobile path and the rugged Banadad Trail.

Cultural landmarks and localized names provide insight into the region's wilderness management and Indigenous heritage, notably seen at Moozoogitagaaning Island in West Pope Lake. A system of historic and modern access points, including the Iron Lake Road (Old Gunflint) and the Poplar Lake Boat Access Rd, illustrates the evolution of travel through this lake-rich terrain. Smaller bodies of water like Misplaced Lake, Susana Lake, and Whisker Lake fill the densely forested interior between the major lakes.
