1895 Map of Duluth

About this map

Duluth and its surrounding harbor districts dominate the shoreline of Lake Superior in this late nineteenth-century topographic survey. The intricate street grid of the city expands toward West Duluth and Duluth Heights, while the distinctive sand spit of Minnesota Point defines the separation between the open lake and Duluth Harbor. This period marks a significant era of urban growth, evidenced by the established Duluth City Boundary Line and the development of suburbs like Woodland Park and Lester Park near the mouth of Lester River.
