About this map

Superior National Forest defines the character of this northeastern Minnesota landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and timber-access routes dominates the terrain. Centered on Wilson Lake, the area is characterized by interconnected glacial lakes including Whitefish Lake, Windy Lake, and Silver Island Lake. Evidence of recreation and resource management is visible through features like the Wilson Lake Boat Landing and the Harriet Lake Shg.

A network of forestry roads and trails, such as The Grade, Two Moose Trail, and Sister Lake Road, provides access through the woods. The drainage system is intricate, with Wilson Creek and Wanless Creek threading through the forest. This survey captures the remote boundary between Lake County and Cook County, highlighting the persistent importance of public lands and primitive routes in this northern wilderness.
