1960 Map of Kadunce River

About this map

Kadunce River State Park and the surrounding wilderness of the Superior National Forest define this 1960s landscape along the North Shore. The map reveals a complex network of waterways feeding into Lake Superior, with the Kadunce River and Kimball Creek carving through the terrain toward the shoreline. Interior lakes such as Trout Lake, Kimball Lake, and Mink Lake are documented alongside recreational infrastructure like the Kimball Lake Campground, illustrating the area's development for public use and conservation. Near the coast, distinct coastal landmarks like Red Cliff and the offshore Five Mile Rock provide essential points of orientation. Several Gravel Pits suggest local material extraction during the mid-century, while the dense contour lines illustrate the elevation changes typical of the Minnesota Arrowhead region before reaching the lake level.
