Topographical Lake Map
Bowstring Lake and River is a literal translation of the Ojibway word “Atchabani” or “Busatchahani”. An old and much used portage trail ran between the Bowstring River and Little Cut Foot Sioux Lake, part of the major fur trade route connecting the Mississippi and the Rainy Rivers via the Big Fork River. The Inger Road (County State Aid Highway 35) roughly parallels the old four-mile portage crossing the continental divide.
Prehistoric Burial Mounds. Many prehistoric burial mounds have been discovered and many destroyed in the area between Bowstring and Cut Foot Sioux lakes. Only a few have been excavated and are readily accessible.69 One of the largest is located a short distance northwest of the Inger Bridge on the northern bank of the Bowstring River. This mound has been excavated and a number of skeletons, copper implements, pottery vessels, and other artifacts found. Its original size was estimated to be ten feet high and sixty feet in diameter.
