1967 Map of Kempton Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Rainy Lake dominates this 1967 survey, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada cuts across the open waters and through the northern reach of the Kabetogama State Forest. The map documents a complex archipelago of islands and rocky points, including Big Island, Kawawia Island, and Shelland Island. To the south, the interior landscape of St. Louis County is defined by a dense network of smaller bodies of water such as Oslo Lake, Beast Lake, and Cruiser Lake, separated by timbered ridges and portage trails. The presence of Stoffels Point and Idle Hour Island suggests a landscape shaped by early leisure and seasonal habitation. This study records the topographical character of the borderlands before modern development, detailing the intricate shoreline of Kempton Bay and the navigational aids like the Light positioned near Gull Rocks.
