1982 Map of Doyle Lake

About this map

Finland stands as the primary settlement within this northern landscape, situated near the confluence of the West Branch Baptism River and the main Baptism River. This 1982 survey illustrates a region heavily defined by timber and recreation, where the Finland State Forest and Superior National Forest overlap. A notable historical trace is the Old Railroad Grade in the southeastern corner, reflecting the area's industrial past before it transitioned toward the conservation and leisure use seen in Tettegouche State Park. The drainage network is complex, with Doyle Lake feeding the East Branch Baptism River, while numerous smaller streams like Hockamin Creek, Nicado Creek, and Heffelfinger Creek carve through the terrain. The presence of the Moosewalk Snowmobile Trail and North Shore Snowmobile Trail underscores the importance of winter recreation in this part of Beaver Bay township.
