1955 Map of Dewey Lake

About this map

Chisholm and the northern reaches of the Iron Range are documented here during a period of transition, with revisions reflecting industrial and residential shifts through the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Dewey Lake, Long Lake, and Shannon Lake, which are bordered by the protected lands of the Superior National Forest and George Washington State Forest. Evidence of the region’s timber and mining heritage is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and several Gravel Pits scattered across Balkan and Stuntz townships.
