1960 Map of Hovland

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The settlement of Hovland anchors this 1960 survey, situated where the Flute Reed River meets the expansive waters of Lake Superior. The landscape is dominated by the Grand Portage State Forest, showing a rugged coastal topography marked by prominent inlets like Chicago Bay, Horseshoe Bay, and Big Bay. This era of the North Shore is captured just as U.S. Route 61 follows the coastline, providing the primary artery for this remote timber and fishing region. Genealogists will note the small Cem located near the town center, while the presence of several Gravel Pits and Carlson Creek further inland indicates the local land use and drainage patterns of the Cook County shore before modern development increased.
