1959 Map of Hungry Jack Lake

About this map

The international boundary between Ontario and Minnesota defines this wilderness landscape as it was documented in the late 1950s. Stretching across the Superior National Forest and Pat Bayle State Forest, the terrain is defined by an intricate network of interconnected waterways. Important overland connections like Stairway Portage and Long Portage trace the historic routes between large bodies of water such as Rose Lake and Daniels Lake. The interior is marked by the presence of the Bearskin Lookout Tower, reflecting mid-century forest management and fire surveillance. Recreational development is evident at the Flour Lake Campground and East Bearskin Campground, while the southern portion features the Gunflint trail corridor. This survey also records numerous smaller basins like Hungry Jack Lake and Squint Lake, illustrating the dense aquatic geography of the Arrowhead region.
