1952 Map of Babbitt NE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Birch Lake and its intricate northern bays define this landscape at the edge of the Minnesota State Forest and Superior National Forest. The map captures a transition toward industrial extraction, marked by the extensive Reserve Mining Company Railroad and several sprawling Mine Dumps that contrast with the primitive terrain. Along the southern shore, Norway Point and Birch Point reach into the reservoir waters, where soundings reveal the original lake depths. Inland, the footprint of earlier activity remains visible at the Tomahawk Camp (Abandoned) and an Old Landing Field. The Dunka River and Stony River thread through the lowlands, illustrating the region's complex water network before late-twentieth-century mining further altered the topography of St. Louis and Lake Counties.
