1955 Map of Dewey Lake

About this map

The iron range town of Chisholm anchors the southeastern corner of this mid-century survey, where the grid of city streets gives way to the dense forests and wetlands of the Superior National Forest. This transition from an industrial mining landscape to protected wilderness is marked by the State Forest Boundary, which encloses much of the George Washington State Forest within the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including the centrally located Dewey Lake and the elongated Long Lake, where Camp Austin sits on the northern shore.
