1950 Map of Biwabik NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Big Rice Lake and the winding Sand River dominate this pocket of the Iron Range, where the landscape is defined by the overlapping boundaries of the Kabetogama State Forest, Vermilion Lake State Forest, and Superior National Forest. This 1950 survey, updated with 1969 aerial data, reveals a sparse but established network of rural community landmarks. The settlement at Florenton Po serves as a central point for the surrounding area, which includes School No. 14 and several religious and commemorative sites. Along the southern reaches, the Pike River meanders toward the east, passing near the Pike Ch and West Pike Cem. The presence of a small Gravel Pit hints at the local infrastructure needs of the mid-century, while the numerous lakes like Pfeiffer Lake and Fawn Lake highlight the characteristic glacial terrain of northern St. Louis County.
