1960 Map of Brule Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Misquah Hills overlook a dense network of glacial lakes and portages in this 1960 survey of Cook County. Situated within the Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest, the landscape is dominated by the expansive waters of Brule Lake, featuring distinct landmarks such as Fishbox Island, Jock Mock Point, and Brule Island. This survey captures the wilderness character of the Boundary Waters region before later management changes, showing a solitary Campground and the Brule Lake Lookout Tower as the primary points of human infrastructure. The map provides depth curves for the major water bodies, including Winchell Lake and Wanihigan Lake, alongside smaller isolated waters like Trump Lake and Cash Lake. A single unimproved dirt road provides the only vehicle access into this remote aquatic terrain.
