1967 Map of Kabustasa Lake

About this map

Vermilion River and Pelican River dominate this 1967 survey of northern St. Louis County, where the landscape is defined by the transition from water to wood. The small settlement of Buyck serves as the primary outpost in this wilderness, situated near the Forest Home Cem. The map reveals the historical footprints of the regional timber and transport economy, most notably the Old Railroad Grade and several Portage sites along the river bends that bypass Chipmunk Falls.
