1960 Map of Kawishiwi Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Kawishiwi Lake and the dense water networks of the Superior National Forest define this 1960 landscape along the border of Lake and Cook counties. This area, managed in part within the Minnesota State Forest system, shows a labyrinthine glacial geography where lakes are linked by short, narrow channels and named creeks. The survey captures the primitive recreation infrastructure of the era at the Kawishiwi Lake Campground, situated near the western edge of the sheet. The drainage pattern is exceptionally detailed, following the paths of Bill Creek, Hog Creek, and Walter Creek through a series of interconnected basins including Phoebe Lake, Knight Lake, and Coffee Lake. Depth curves for these water bodies were integrated from Minnesota Department of Conservation charts, providing a precise look at the underwater topography of this northern lake country.
