1960 Map of Cherokee Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this intricate lacustrine landscape within the northern reaches of Cook County. The map details a labyrinth of glacial water bodies and interconnecting waterways, dominated by the expansive Frost Lake and the meandering Frost River. This 1960s-era documentation, updated with 1980s aerial data, highlights the preservation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where the absence of roads emphasizes a reliance on the historic Trails and portage routes that define this region. To the south, the Pat Bayle State Forest boundary marks a transition in land management. Smaller, descriptively named features like Bologna Lake, Noodle Lake, and Squish Lake reflect the vernacular of the surveyors and wilderness travelers who charted these remote sections of the Canadian Shield. The survey serves as a precise guide for tracing the unaltered shoreline of Gunflint Lake and Town Lake before modern recreational pressures intensified.
