About this map

Pat Bayle State Forest and the Superior National Forest define this corner of the North Shore highlands during the early 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of the Sawtooth Mountains, including notable heights like Honeymoon Mountain and Oberg Mountain. A complex network of water moves through the timber, from the winding Temperance River and Onion River to secluded basins like Pancore Lake and Frisk Lake.

Human activity is traced through transportation routes that follow the contours of the land, such as the Honeymoon Trail and a significant Railroad Grade in the northeast. Small-scale industrial markers like a Gravel Pit near the river and a Radio Tower atop the summit point to the era's utility and infrastructure. The map also captures specialized recreational routes, including a Snowmobile Trail threading through the woods near Sixmile Creek.
