I'm looking for bathymetry data on some of the northern Quetico lakes but I'm striking out. The Minnesota DNR has great info on the BWCA lakes but the Ontario MNR has virtually none that I can find on the Quetico lakes. Does anyone have any leads?

I've bathed in most of them. You probably could too. Hope this helps.

Could be. Who needs a map? Deep cranks and jigs.

Kind of, hydrographic maps are mostly utilized for navigation and may offer some bottom data but the purpose isn't to map the bottom. An underwater topo would be the best description of a bathymetric map.
