Map of Resort and Canoe Area Ely, Minnesota

Where the Wilderness Begins!

This useful guide to the waters around Ely in northern Minnesota was copyrighted in 1944 by the W.A. Fisher Company of Virginia, MN. The firm started making recreational maps of the Boundary Waters in the 1920s and continues to serve the community over 100 years later. Red overprinting identifies the primary canoe routes across the region. Additional tourist information, fishing regulations, etc. can be found on the verso.
