1959 Map of Hungry Jack Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Canada-United States border cuts through a network of interconnected waterways in this late 1950s survey of Cook County. The landscape is dominated by the Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest, where the topography is defined by dozens of elongated glacial lakes such as Rose Lake, Hungry Jack Lake, and Bearskin Lake. The historic Gunflint Trail serves as the primary artery through the timberland, connecting remote recreation spots like the Flour Lake Campground. Notable landmarks such as the Bearskin Lookout Tower and Stairway Portage reflect the area's history as a hub for forestry monitoring and traditional travel routes between the international boundary waters. The map also delineates the Fourth Principal Meridian, a critical baseline for early regional land surveying and settlement patterns.
