BWCA Canoe Maps

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness spans over a million acres of lakes, rivers, and portage trails along the Minnesota–Canada border. True North BWCA Canoe Maps cover the full wilderness — 21 maps from Crane Lake and Lac la Croix in the west to Knife Lake, Basswood Lake, and the Gunflint Trail corridor in the east.

Each map is printed on durable, waterproof cloth — lightweight enough to fold into a shirt pocket, tough enough to survive a week of rain, river crossings, and daily use. No plastic lamination. No tearing. Pull it out soaking wet and it reads just as clearly.

Maps include portage lengths, campsite locations, elevation contours, entry points, and water routes — everything you need to navigate from put-in to campsite and back. Made using current GIS data from the US Forest Service and updated regularly.

Not sure which map covers your route? Use our BWCA — Which Map Do You Need guide to find the right one by entry point or lake name.
