1949 Map of Embarrass

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Embarrass serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota survey, situated along the winding course of the Embarrass River. The landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Heikkilla Lake, Moose Lake, and Little Birch Lake, much of which falls within the Minnesota State Forest. Local history is anchored by School No 70 and the settlement pattern follows the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad line. Industrial activity is visible at the southern edge, where a large Tailings Pond indicates the region's mining heritage near Mesaba. The map also captures several smaller water bodies with local identifiers like Lempia Lakes and Fishing Lakes, alongside tributary systems such as Bear Creek and Camp Eight Creek.
