1968 Map of Frontenac Lake

About this map

Lake Plantagenet and the surrounding Hubbard County wetlands define this northern landscape, captured here during the late 1960s. The region is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and conservation lands, including the Rockwood State Wildlife Management Areas and the northern reaches of the Schoolcraft State Forest. The Schoolcraft River meanders through the western half of the quadrangle, while the Kabekona River flows through the central marshes. Civic life and resource management are marked by a Townhall and a Ranger Station in the southern portion of the map. This era shows a balance between recreational sites like Camp Thunderbird and industrial markers such as a Gravel Pit, reflecting a landscape dedicated to both public use and the natural timber and water resources of the Minnesota woods.
