2011 Map of Toohey Lake

About this map

The Temperance River and its numerous glacial tributaries define the hydrography of this northern wilderness. In the early 21st century, the landscape is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Toohey Lake, Fourmile Lake, and the small Pancake Lake, interconnected by a web of Forest Service routes. A prominent feature is The Grade, a road reflecting the area's logging history and rail-bed origins, which provides access to the central interior. To the east, Sawbill Trl runs parallel to the river near the Temperance River Campground. The presence of evocative labels such as Heartbreak Creek and Wringer Lake suggests a rugged history of travel and timber extraction. This map documents a high concentration of named wetlands and smaller basins like Soda Lake and Waffle Lake, essential for understanding the local drainage patterns and ecological zones within the Superior National Forest region.
