1967 Map of Hale Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Namakan Lake and the international boundary between St. Louis County, Minnesota, and the Rainy River District of Ontario anchor this late-1960s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the dense hydrological network within the Superior National Forest and Kabetogama State Forest, where the water level was recorded at a normal reservoir pool elevation of 1119 feet. Numerous islands with personal or evocative names, such as Pat Smith Island, Pike Island, and Blind Pig Island, dot the expansive waters. This era shows the early development of recreational infrastructure in the Boundary Waters region, including the Browns Bay Campground and Hammer Bay Campground, accessible primarily by water or primitive overland routes like the Winter Trail. The mapping of features like Blind Pig Channel and Deep Slough provides essential detail for navigating this complex system of interconnected bays and lakes.
