1952 Map of Idington

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad cuts through this section of St. Louis County, anchoring small settlements like Idington and Idington Station within the vast woodland. This 1952 landscape is dominated by the Superior National Forest and a complex network of glacial lakes and river systems. Water bodies like Sand Lake, Lake Fourteen, and Moose Lake are connected by the winding paths of the Sturgeon River and Rice River. A notable point of human activity is centered around the Sand Lake Chapel and the nearby Idington Cem, providing valuable location data for genealogists. The terrain is marked by the prominent Black Knob, which serves as the site for the Black Knob Lookout Tower, a critical post for forest management during the mid-twentieth century. For those researching rural infrastructure, the map also identifies a Town Hall, a Heliport, and several specialized features like a Gravel Pit and a lakeside Picnic Area.
