1969 Map of Kabetogama

About this map

Voyageurs National Park and the Kabetogama State Forest meet along a shoreline of intricate bays and islands in this 1969 survey. The small settlement of Kabetogama serves as the focal point for local activity, featuring the Kabetogama Ch and St Jude Chapel. The map documents a landscape defined by water and recreation, where Gappas Landing Campground and the Chief Wooden Frog Campground provide access to the expansive Kabetogama Lake. A seasonal Winter Trail cuts through the timbered terrain, reflecting the region's reliance on frozen ground for inland travel. To the west, the East Branch Rat Root River meanders toward the county line between Koochiching and St Louis counties. Notable landforms like Echo Island, Bald Eagle Island, and Stagies Point illustrate the complex geography of this Northwoods borderland.
