http://www.bwcaonline.com/bwca.html is a fairly good starting point for BWCA info. The site seems to get a bit more commercial each year. Ah well. I find the map discussions kind of fun. Back in the '70s we used to go up to the BWCA and navigate using the W.A. Fisher maps. We always knew which lake we were on. Portages and campsites were almost always "close" - meaning "look around the next point if it isn't here". SInce then I've had the opportunity of navigating up there with the updated USGS maps. It's a little odd *knowing* exactly *which* island you're at on some of the more confusing lakes.
