1952 Map of Babbitt SE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Reserve Mining Company Railroad cuts a prominent horizontal path across this landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of iron ore transport through the Superior National Forest. This 1952 field-checked survey highlights a transition in the North Woods, where heavy rail infrastructure meets a complex network of glacial water bodies. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by significant aquatic features, most notably the wide expanse of Big Lake and its northern reach at Bungalow Bay, alongside the headwaters of the Seven Beaver Lake system. Water drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Dunka River and North River, which wind through the timbered terrain. While primarily a wilderness map, the inclusion of a Gravel Pit and the specific State Forest Boundary lines provide insights into the mid-century management of Minnesota’s natural and mineral resources.
