1953 Map of Canyon

About this map

The settlement of Canyon serves as a focal point in this St. Louis County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Hellwig Creek and the southern reaches of Northland. This mid-century survey reveals a region defined by its timber and water resources, with significant portions of the terrain dedicated to the Cloquet Valley State Forest. Local infrastructure is concentrated around the Town Hall and a prominent gravel pit located north of the settlement. The northeastern corner of the map features a dense cluster of water bodies including Rose Lake, Dodo Lake, and the larger Leora Lake. These lakes, along with Winkle Lake and Moose Lake to the south, indicate a low-lying, marshy environment typical of the glacial plains before the deeper wilderness of the Arrowhead region begins.
