1959 Map of Dutton Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Quetico Provincial Park and the northern reaches of the Superior National Forest dominate this 1959 survey of the international borderlands. The landscape is defined by the massive Hunter Island landform, a sprawling territory in Ontario surrounded by a complex network of glacial waterways. The border between Canada and the United States follows the center of the chain of lakes, most notably through the deep waters of Cypress Lake and Knife Lake. This map records the wilderness character of the region just as photogrammetric methods began to provide precise detail of the remote interior. Travelers and researchers can trace the historic Little Knife Portage between the major lakes, alongside several smaller bodies of water like No Man Lake, Plough Lake, and Dutton Lake, which are linked by narrow channels and primitive trails through the dense Minnesota State Forest.
