I assume todays picture is one of the portages south from Nym Lake.  I tell my newby friends that is a typical Quetico portage.

I will vote Jesse-to-Maria because I didn't think they had such a long section of it done for Nym-Batch. 

I met one of the guys working on the Nym-Batch section this summer out of a BSA Northern Tier High Advanture Base in Ely.  Cool guys & very helpful too - they offered to carry for us from Nym to Batch after they heard how we lost our canoe & paddles...more in the trip report (yep I need to write that report!)  He told of standing waist deep in mud & dropping huge rocks one after another into the holes on Maria-Jesse a few years back.  All I could do was thank them!   :)   

BTW, they call these sections "pavement."
