About this map

Birch Lake dominates the northern landscape of this 1950s survey, its irregular shoreline forming complex features like Norway Point and Klobuchar Bay. This area, where the Minnesota State Forest and Superior National Forest meet, shows the distinct transition from water to timberland in St. Louis and Lake counties. The presence of Tomahawk Camp (Abandoned) and an Old Landing field suggests a landscape once more actively used for logging or backcountry operations that had begun to recede by mid-century. Several locations marked simply as Quarry indicate the extraction of regional stone. The Dunca River winds through the southwestern quadrant, feeding into Dunca Bay and connecting the dense interior woodlands to the larger lake system.
