1958 Map of Garden

About this map

The Sturgeon River carves through the central landscape of this Delta County region, flowing south into the expansive waters of Big Bay de Noc. Along the northern shores, the timber and rail era is well-represented by the Minneapolis Sault Ste Marie and St Paul railroad, which connects the small settlements of St Jacques, Nahma Junction, and Isabella. The map illustrates a transitional period where industry and forest management overlap, featuring the Hiawatha National Forest and the Moss Lake Lookout Tower.
