1949 Map of Isaac Lake

About this map

Bear Island State Forest and Superior National Forest define the northern wilderness of St. Louis County, where dense woodlands meet a complex network of glacial water bodies. The Embarrass River meanders through the central landscape, passing the township of Waasa and its local Town Hall. This 1949 survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates the transition between conservation lands and early 20th-century industry, noted by the presence of several Pits and a large Mine Dump at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
