1956 Map of Eagles Nest

About this map

Bear Head Lake and the complex of Eagles Nest Lakes dominate this northern Minnesota landscape during the mid-1950s. The area is defined by its glacial hydrology, where a dense network of water bodies like Armstrong Lake and Robinson Lake are interspersed with wetlands and marshy shorelines. These waters are contained within the protected boundaries of the Minnesota State Forest and the Superior National Forest, illustrating the region's character as a managed timber and recreation wilderness.
