1962 Map of Beaver Lake

About this map

Whitefish Lake dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its shoreline marked by prominent points such as Hell Roaring Point and Inez Point. This 1960s survey, revised in the early 1980s, illustrates the complex water network between the Stillwater River and the lake, where numerous smaller basins like Beaver Lake and Skyles Lake dot the timbered terrain. The presence of the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, tracking through the northwestern corner near Depew and the western banks of Whitefish Lake, signifies the region's historical reliance on rail for transporting timber and goods.
