1955 Map of Dewey Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

George Washington State Forest and the Superior National Forest converge in this mid-century landscape of the Iron Range region, defined by an intricate network of wetlands and waterways. The Sturgeon River meanders across the center of the quadrangle, passing a lone Gaging Station and receiving flow from Murray Creek and Sand Creek. The terrain is characterized by depressions like French Hollow and a series of lakes including Perch Lake and Luna Lake. Mapping of this area, compiled in part by the Minnesota Department of Conservation, reveals a territory primarily designated for timber and conservation rather than dense settlement. Signs of local industry are sparse, limited to a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, while the river system remains the dominant geographic feature of the Morcom and Sturgeon townships.
