1955 Map of Dark Lake

About this map

The Superior National Forest encompasses the majority of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its intricate drainage networks and marshy lowlands. Centered around the winding Sturgeon River and the Dark River, the terrain transitions from the township of Sturgeon in the northwest to Scott in the southeast. A gathering point for the rural community is found at Alango Hall, while various named water bodies like Great Dark Lake, Beaver Lake, and Leander Lake dot the forested interior.
