1956 Map of Illgen City

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Illgen City and the surrounding North Shore wilderness appear here in a mid-century survey updated with photorevisions from the 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the uplands of the Crystal Bay State Forest down to the rocky coast of Lake Superior. The Baptism River carves a dramatic path through the terrain, featuring Illgen Falls before reaching the lake near Baptism River State Park. Dramatic coastal landmarks like Palisade Head, which features a Radio Tower, and Shovel Point dominate the shoreline, while smaller inlets like Crystal Bay and Belmore Bay provide breaks in the cliffs. Inland, small bodies of water such as Nipisiquit Lake and Micmac Lake sit among the timbered ridges, reflecting the traditional recreational and natural resource character of Lake County.
