Why it works

The BWCAW's complex network of lakes, portages, and canoe routes requires detailed mapping that covers both the water routes and the portage trails connecting them — a map that shows both at sufficient scale is essential for planning multi-day canoe trips. The western entry points serve some of the most popular BWCAW routes, making accurate portage and campsite detail critical for trip planning. Waterproof construction is essential for canoe use where maps are constantly exposed to water.

Ideal for

Canoeists, kayakers, anglers, and backpackers exploring the western BWCAW and Superior National Forest in Minnesota. See also NGTI752 (East Superior National Forest) for the eastern section coverage.
