1953 Map of Independence

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Cloquet River cuts a wide, winding path through this Northwoods landscape in the early 1950s, anchoring a region defined by its timbered state forests and scattered rural outposts. Within the Cloquet Valley State Forest, a strategically placed Lookout Tower once monitored the dense canopy for fire. The small community of Independence serves as the local hub, supported by essential community landmarks like the Independence Cem and the Twig Chapel to the southeast.
