1960 Map of Kawishiwi Lake

About this map

Kawishiwi Lake and its surrounding network of waterways define this landscape in the early 1960s, straddling the border between Superior National Forest and Minnesota State Forest. The map documents a primitive wilderness character, where transportation is dictated by the connection of lakes like Phoebe Lake, Knight Lake, and Perent Lake via narrow channels and creeks. The presence of the Kawishiwi Lake Campground suggests the area's role as a gateway for recreation, while the intricate drainage systems of Hog Creek and Bone Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of the Boundary Waters region.
