1982 Map of Greenwood Lake East

About this map

Stony River Mining Railroad (Abandoned) underscores the industrial history of this northern timber and mining landscape, cutting a path through the Superior National Forest. This section of Lake County is defined by a dense network of water and seasonal transport routes, including the Stony River and McDougal Lakes. The transition from industrial extraction to recreational and conservation use is evident in the presence of the Finland State Forest Trail and the Homestead Trail, which navigate the wetlands and forests of the Finland State Forest. Small operations like the Gravel Pit near the State Forest Boundary indicate the localized resource management of the era. The mapping also reveals a complex drainage system, where Coyote Creek, Stockade Creek, and Greenwood River feed into the larger waterways, a topography shaped by both natural flow and historical winter access via multiple Winter Trails.
