1982 Map of Greenwood Lake West

About this map

Superior National Forest and Finland State Forest dominate this Lake County landscape, illustrating a wilderness shaped by resource extraction and seasonal travel in the early 1980s. The presence of the Mining Railroad cutting through the center of the sheet reflects the region's industrial ties, while numerous Winter Trails and Snowmobile Trails indicate the importance of seasonal access across this water-rich terrain. Notable water bodies include the expansive Sand Lake and the northern portion of Greenwood Lake, connected by systems like Stony River and Ridgepole Creek. For researchers, the map identifies specific points of interest such as a Public Access site on Greenwood Lake and scattered Gravel Pits, providing a clear record of land use and recreational infrastructure during this period.
