Map clearly drawn to study the routes of proposed roadways. Large scale map from township 62 north on the west, Range 5 East and 6 East on the north and Lake Superior on the east. Shows Canada, the Pigeon River, reservation boundary, Mineral Center, roads and rivers. Hand-inked topographical details. Customs houses were noted where Highway 61 crossed the border (at the Pigeon River). Shows Swamp Lake and the Reservation River. Pencil notes were likely Ernest Oberholtzer's later marking route approved by U.S. Bureau of Roads.
Ernest Oberholtzer used this tourist information map for planning purposes, likely while serving in his role as head of the Quetico-Superior Council. He is educating about the impact of a proposed federal forest extension and noting sections necessary to be added to the national forest. Crayon-colored areas are shaded for designated forests: green = federal forest, blue = state forest, red = outline of proposed forest extension, and gray = necessary to be added to Superior National Forest under Quetico-Superior Council Program, now not included in federal proposal.

A hand-drawn orange boundary line is undefined. On the reverse side of the map we find MN town and city population figures from 1930 census reports. Minneapolis = 464,356 and Rochester, MN = 20,621.
