1968 Map of Ash Lake

About this map

Kabetogama State Forest dominates this landscape in northern Minnesota, where the terrain is defined by complex hydrology and timberland. The central feature, Ash Lake, includes depth curves and soundings provided by the Minnesota Department of Conservation, offering a rare look at the lake's underwater topography during the late 1960s. Industrial and transit activity is concentrated along the eastern corridor, where the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad cuts through the forest, flanked by several Gravel Pits used for local infrastructure or track maintenance.
