1960 Map of Beth Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The boundary between Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest divides this 1960 landscape, defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and portage-connected waterways. The northern half is dominated by large bodies like Alton Lake and Sawbill Lake, where the Sawbill Campground serves as a primary access point at the terminus of Sawbill Road. This survey, field-checked by the USGS just before the official designation of the nearby wilderness area, captures the region's transition from managed timberland to recreational backcountry. Smaller, descriptive landmarks such as Big Snow Lake, Retreat Lake, and Poet Lake are scattered among the ridges, while the Temperance River begins its course in the southeast corner. The intricate hydrology is further marked by Hog Creek and Plouff Creek, which weave through the complex terrain of Cook County.
