1982 Map of Greenwood Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Superior National Forest and Finland State Forest converge in this northern landscape, which is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and marshy lowland. Large bodies of water like Sand Lake and the northern reaches of Greenwood Lake are connected by the meandering Stony River. The presence of a Mining Railroad cutting through the center of the sheet reflects the region's industrial heritage, specifically the extraction of taconite or other iron ores common to the Arrowhead region. Transportation in this era relied heavily on seasonal routes, evidenced by the numerous Winter Trails and Snowmobile Trails that crisscross the wetlands. Smaller, isolated water bodies such as Lobo Lake, Bonga Lake, and Ridgepole Lake are scattered throughout the timberland, often accessible only by these specialized paths or by the Ridgepole Creek drainage system.
