1960 Map of Eagle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Eagle Mountain dominates this portion of the Misquah Hills, marking a landscape defined by its complex network of lakes and drainage basins within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. This 1960 survey, updated in the mid-1980s, highlights a transition from managed timberlands to protected wilderness. An Old Railroad Grade north of Swan Lake provides a tangible trace of early 20th-century logging infrastructure that once penetrated these dense woods before the area was formally designated for preservation. Large water bodies like Winchell Lake and Brule Lake are mapped alongside smaller, descriptively named features like Footsteps Lake and Skidway Lake, reflecting the nomenclature of early travelers and foresters. The map also delineates the boundaries of the Superior National Forest and the Pat Bayle State Forest, showing the intersection of state and federal land management.
