1960 Map of Kawishiwi Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness define this mid-century landscape of the Iron Range. Based on 1958 and 1960 fieldwork with 1980s updates, the map details a complex hydrographic network including Kawishiwi Lake and the Kawishiwi Lake Campground. The area is characterized by an intricate system of interconnected water bodies such as Kawasachong Lake, Phoebe Lake, and Perent Lake, linked by small watercourses like Bill Creek and Hog Creek. Significant for recreation and wilderness management, the data reflects the preservation efforts of the State of Minnesota and the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission. Local nomenclature is preserved through unique labels like Poet Lake, Cat Eyes Lake, and Gobetween Lake, illustrating the specific geography of Lake and Cook Counties.
