1960 Map of Eagle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Eagle Mountain and the surrounding Misquah Hills dominate this survey of the Boundary Waters region, as recorded in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes including the sprawling Winchell Lake and Brule Lake. While much of the area is protected within the Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest, evidence of earlier industrial activity remains. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the northeast, tracing a path south of Swan Lake toward Lac Lake, while a small Gravel Pit marks a rare point of modern excavation. The map captures a moment when this wilderness was documented with high topographic precision, featuring landmarks like Brule Island and Brule Rapids alongside numerous smaller bodies of water such as Footsteps Lake and Skinny Lake.
