1960 Map of Farquhar Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Grand Portage State Forest dominates this northern frontier, where the international boundary follows the winding course of the Pigeon River. In this 1960 survey, the landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Swamp River and Irish Creek carving through the timberlands toward a series of isolated waters including Otter Lake, Moosehorn Lake, and Jackson Lake. The interior is largely roadless, focused instead on the natural topography and the southern boundary of the Grand Portage Indian Reservation. To the south, Farquhar Peak rises as a prominent landmark near the Hovland Lookout Tower, a site once essential for fire detection in the dense forest. Small-scale industrial activity is noted only by localized Gravel Pits, emphasizing the remote, resource-driven character of this Cook County region during the early 1960s.
