1981 Map of Harris Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest and Cloquet Valley State Forest dominate this section of St. Louis County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber. The Whiteface Reservoir and Linwood Lake are central hydrologic features, fed by a complex drainage system including the North Branch Whiteface River and the South Branch Whiteface River. This 1980s-era survey illustrates the area's transition into a managed wilderness and recreation zone, with numerous Gravel Pits indicating local extraction for forest road maintenance. Notable recreational infrastructure is present in the form of a designated Snowmobile Trail and Hagstrom Road. Further south, the W Br Cloquet R winds through the state forest, while smaller tributaries like Porcupine Creek and Skivven Creek carve through the wooded terrain.
