1999 Map of Daley Bay

About this map

Voyageurs National Park and the Kabetogama State Forest dominate this northern landscape, where the waters of Kabetogama Lake are punctuated by a dense archipelago of named islands and rocky points. The map details a complex shoreline of deep inlets like Irwin Bay, Bowman Bay, and Duck Bay, separated by peninsulas such as Nashata Point. The interior terrain is characterized by a series of smaller inland bodies of water, including Shoepack Lake and Little Shoepack Lake, alongside the courses of Clyde Creek and Deer Creek. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present at a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, while recreational access is highlighted by several designated Campsite locations scattered across islands like Cutover Island and Sugarbush Island. This survey provides a meticulous record of the lake's geography before the turn of the 21st century, showing the intricate relationship between the park boundaries and the surrounding forest lands.
