1953 Map of Independence

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Cloquet River winds through this section of St. Louis County, anchoring a landscape defined by timber and transit. Much of the northern terrain is contained within the Cloquet Valley State Forest, where early fire detection infrastructure like the Lookout Tower near Independence speaks to the region's forestry history. Settlement is concentrated along the arterial connections of the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific Railroad and the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range RR, which cut diagonally across the wetlands and ridges.
