1955 Map of Dewey Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Sturgeon River and Shannon River converge in this northern Minnesota landscape, where the waters of Shannon Lake and Perch Lake define the terrain. Much of the area is contained within the Superior National Forest, illustrating the managed wilderness of St. Louis County during the mid-twentieth century. The map shows the establishment of Mc Carthy Beach State Park along the southern lakeshore, a key recreational destination. Industrial and logistical activity is noted by a Gravel Pit near Jean Lake and a Heliport to the north. Smaller water bodies like Luna Lake and Louise Lake are scattered through the wooded townships of Morcom, Sturgeon, and French Township, while a Gaging Station on the river indicates the ongoing hydrologic monitoring by the Minnesota Department of Conservation.
