Morphology
The phrase is partly compositional: a learner who knows 'north' and the spatial sense of 'deep' can plausibly infer it means a region far into the north (i.e. remote northern area). However, the specific cultural connotations (famous for remote natural beauty) and the need to interpret 'deep' in a spatial/locational sense rather than its more common emotive sense make the meaning not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Deep North may come from the simple image of being deep inside the north, far from towns and roads, surrounded by cold forests and lakes. That's why it now means a 'remote' northern region known for hard winters and wild natural beauty.
