1956 Map of Eagles Nest

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bear Head Lake State Park and the surrounding timberlands of the Superior National Forest dominate this mid-century look at St. Louis County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes, including the four distinct bodies of the Eagles Nest Lake chain and the expansive Armstrong Lake. While much of the territory is dedicated to conservation and recreation, evidenced by a campground and picnic area on the shores of Bear Head Lake, industrial infrastructure is present in the north. The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad skirts the northern edge, serving the small settlements of Robinson and McComber. The map provides detailed bathymetry for several lakes, compiled from Minnesota Department of Conservation charts, offering a rare look at the underwater topography of these northwoods waters before modern shoreline developments altered the area.
