1959 Map of Conners Island

About this map

The United States Canada border defines this boundary region, where the Granite River and a complex network of waterways connect the deep interior of the Superior National Forest. This 1959 field-checked survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by water and the historic portage routes that facilitate travel between lakes. Prominent features like Saganaga Lake and Maraboeuf Lake dominate the terrain, joined by narrow channels and dangerous water features such as Saganaga Falls and Horsetail Rapids.
