1957 Map of Castle Danger

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The North Shore of Lake Superior dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where the rugged Minnesota coastline is punctuated by dramatic elevations and short, steep watercourses. The settlement of Castle Danger sits at the northeastern edge of the sheet, served by Our Saviours Ch near the lakefront. To the southwest, Silver Creek marks a cluster of activity including a local Landing Field, while the primary corridor of Route 61 follows the shoreline shelf. The landscape's verticality is most pronounced at Silver Cliff and Lafayette Bluff, where high ground drops sharply toward the water. Significant coastal features like Encampment Island and the mouth of the Encampment River indicate the natural transition between the forest and the lake. This survey, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, documents the early development of this recreational and scenic corridor before the expansion of modern highway infrastructure.
