About this map

The settlement of Buyck serves as the primary focal point in this remote northern landscape, situated near the northeastern corner along the Vermilion River. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a community anchored by local institutions such as St Joseph Ch and the Buyck Sch. The surrounding terrain is defined by the dense wetlands and timber of the Kabetogama State Forest and portions of the Superior National Forest, where numerous glacial lakes including Kjostad Lake, Winchester Lake, and Elbow Lake dominate the drainage patterns.

Transportation and industry are marked by an Old Railroad Grade winding through the western portion of the map, signaling the legacy of logging or early mineral exploration in the Beatty and Portage townships. Several Gravel Pits and a Sandpit indicate the localized extraction of materials used for the region's light-duty road network, while a lone Campsite suggests the area's emerging value for recreation within the vast Minnesota woods.
