1960 Map of Kadunce Creek

About this map

Kadunce Creek State Park and the rugged northern shoreline of Lake Superior anchor this mid-century survey of the Minnesota Arrowhead region. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from the Superior National Forest down to the water, notably marked by the Cliff and Red Cliff formations. The drainage pattern of Kadunce Creek and Kimball Creek is clearly mapped as they cut through the timbered highlands towards the lake. Interior water bodies like Trout Lake, Mink Lake, and Kimball Lake are shown with surrounding features such as a Campground and several Gravel Pit sites, reflecting the area's dual character as a recreational destination and a source of road-building materials. A section of road marked Under Construction during the late 1950s field checks illustrates the developing transportation network along the North Shore.
