1959 Map of Grand Portage

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Grand Portage Bay serves as the focal point for this survey along the far northeastern tip of Minnesota, where the northern wilderness meets Lake Superior. The settlement of Grand Portage is depicted between the harbor and the steep rises of Mt Rose, while the Grand Portage National Monument Boundary cuts across the landscape, preserving the historic portage trail. Near the village, the Pagan Cem and a Lookout Tower atop Mt Josephine provide specific landmarks for genealogical and historical research.
