1963 Map of Iron Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Curtain Falls and Rebecca Falls anchor this aquatic landscape along the international border between Ontario and Minnesota. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map documents the intricate waterways of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the southern edge of Quetico Provincial Park. The terrain is defined by a dense network of connected water bodies, from the sprawling Iron Lake and Lac La Croix to smaller interior basins like White Feather Lake and Sundial Lake. The absence of roads emphasizes the wilderness character of the Superior National Forest during this era, where travel was dictated by the Beartrap River, Sterling Creek, and numerous portage-connected bays such as Peterson Bay and Boulder Bay.
