1961 Map of Cloverland

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Douglas County landscape, where the shoreline meets a terrain carved by numerous north-flowing waterways. This 1961 revision of earlier 1950s data captures the rural character of the region as it transitions from the forested grounds of the Brule River State Forest in the northeast toward the agricultural clearings of the Cloverland and Maple townships. The map reveals a drainage pattern defined by parallel streams such as Haukkala Creek, Pearson Creek, and Smith Creek, which cut through the rising elevation away from the lake.
