1959 Map of Hungry Jack Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The international border between Ontario and Cook County defines this remote stretch of wilderness, where the United States and Canada meet along a series of glacial lakes. Within the Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest, the landscape is a network of interconnected waterways like Hungry Jack Lake and Rose Lake, linked by historic routes such as Stairway Portage. This 1959 survey records the region before it was formally designated as a wilderness area, showing established landmarks like the Bearskin Lookout Tower and the critical corridor of the Gunflint Trail. The map details the intricate topography of the Iron Range, where portages and trails provided the only access between deep basins like Clearwater Lake and Daniels Lake.
