Late May I visited the pictos again on Lac La Croix. I have since contacted Bob at Northwoods Memories & ordered his 3 bulletins of the area to get a better idea of what I had seen & possibly missed. There are many panels, pictos & areas of interest along that wall. He is publishing a book soon with all he has seen & recorded along with his adventures. Here is a basic area with notes on location along with coordinates.

Wow, that's some good info there! I'll update my post, if I can, with a better marker as well as change my waypoints in Basecamp.

There's a peninsula campsite on LLC to the East of Kelsey Lake. My understanding is the pictos are directly to the East of that campsite, on a cliff face, on the Canadian shore. Generally around here is where most of the geotagged photos were taken.

I can't update my quote any longer, but here's an updated marker based on Swampturtle's photo.

Anyone have any useful details regarding anything pertaining to Lac La Croix pictographs? We're heading in through EP 14 little indian sioux, doing the upper chain, and heading out through Moose (5 nights). Thinking 2 nights at the same campsite on LLC if we like it enough. Thank you.

If you can find it Michael Furtman has a book about all the canoe country pictographs. This is a must see. One of the best panels in canoe country. You can't miss it on the east shore south of Fish Stake Narrows. Lots to see.

I thought they were a little further south than the google marker. There are 2 sets marked on Fisher Maps, nobody has seemed to been able to find the northern ones.

Shine a UV blacklight on the northern ones. They were done with a special invisible ink.

If you paddle up that shore, the straight-up cliff face is quite obvious.....they are not hard to find.

Thanks Cowdoc. I've never been, but it's a trip I've sketched out for the future in Basecamp. If anyone has better coords for the pictos please share so I can update my waypoint.

Going to see the pictographs with my son next month, weather permitting. Are they more extensive than the impressive ones on Crooked Lake?

The northern ones are very small in comparison to the other panel....only a couple small drawings

I ordered the 3 Northwoods LLC brochures in 2015 and struck up an email conversation with Bob about his "upcoming" book. I also made a request for some additional images. In February of 2016, he mentioned dealing with health issues and how he was unable to be in the studio. Never got the images he promised. Nothing new on the website since around 2012. Sad to say, I don't feel like a book is coming out soon. His brochures are helpful, to a point. Fairly comprehensive, but the information is scattered and confusing. I was able to match up some of his work with the many pictures I took of the LLC pictos that summer of 2015.

Yes, I agree on all your points, the book has been rolling around forever. His bulletins are a rough guide & I did learn from them. Bob said he was retiring, printing the book as is & including a footnote of other pictos not recorded for others to follow & update. He mentioned the same info to me & was looking for a book on trail marking trees, then I never heard back. I'm not sure what's happening.
