1960 Map of Kadunce River

About this map

The rocky northern shore of Lake Superior dominates this 1960s survey, defined by the sharp drop-off at Red Cliff and the coastal terrain of Kadunce River State Park. Further inland, the landscape of the Superior National Forest is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including the large Kimball Lake and the smaller, perched Section Fifteen Lake. The Kadunce River and Kimball Creek drain the upland timber toward the Great Lake, cutting through steep contours. This survey captures the wilderness character of Cook County before modern development, highlighting isolated features like Guano Rock offshore and a scattering of small resource sites like the Gravel Pit near the river. The map also traces various inland lakes such as Trout Lake, Marsh Lake, and Seaboard Lake, which illustrate the glacial geography typical of the Arrowhead Region.
