1958 Map of Grand Portal Point

About this map

Pictured Rocks and the distinctive formations at Grand Portal Point define this mid-century stretch of the Lake Superior shoreline. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of inland water bodies and dramatic coastal features, where Spray Creek and Chapel Creek reach the lake through Spray Falls and Chapel Falls. The interior transitions from the Hiawatha National Forest into the Burt State Forest, showing a wilderness managed for timber and conservation rather than settlement.
