1956 Map of Eagles Nest

About this map

The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad cuts across the northern landscape of this Iron Range quadrangle, serving the small settlements of Robinson and McComber. This 1956 survey, with updates from 1969, illustrates a region defined by an intricate network of water and timber, notably the multi-lobed Eagles Nest Lake No 3 and its neighbors. The expansion of recreational and conservation land is evident in the sprawling Bear Head Lake State Park and the edges of the Superior National Forest.
