1952 Map of Idington

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Idington Station and the nearby Idington settlement anchor the northern reaches of this St. Louis County landscape, where the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad cuts through the timberlands. The area is defined by its transition between the George Washington State Forest and the Superior National Forest, a terrain characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. Prominent water bodies like Lake Fourteen and the expansive Sand Lake dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, connected by drainage systems like Johnson Creek and the Rice River. Cultural landmarks such as the Sand Lake Chapel and the Idington Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists, while the Birch Knob Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding forest. The map also records early industrial and municipal markers, including a Gravel Pit and the local Town Hall.
