1960 Map of Brule Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Brule Lake dominates this wilderness landscape in the Boundary Waters area, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and islands. Situated within the Superior National Forest and the Minnesota State Forest, the terrain rises toward the Misquah Hills in the northeast. This 1960 field-checked survey reveals the area's recreational and administrative infrastructure before modern wilderness designations, featuring the Brule Lake Lookout Tower and an established Campground on the eastern shore. The intricate shoreline of Brule Lake is detailed with features like Jock Mock Point and Cone Bay, while smaller water bodies such as North Cone Lake, Davis Lake, and Winchell Lake illustrate the dense hydrology of Cook County. The map provides a precise record of portages and water depths compiled by the Minnesota Department of Conservation.
