1956 Map of King Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Cloquet Valley State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in northeastern Minnesota, where a dense network of lakes and marshes defines the topography. The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad cuts across the northern section, following the drainage of Pine Creek. This area, situated along the St Louis Co Lake Co border, is characterized by its numerous glacial water bodies, including the centrally located King Lake, and the more isolated Stewart Lake to the east. The presence of the Pequaywan Lookout Tower indicates the area's importance for forest management and fire observation during the 1950s. Navigating the wetlands, one finds smaller features like Beaver Lake, Ruth Lake, and Pigeon Lake, which connect via minor waterways like Mud Creek. The map provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Arrowhead Region before significant modern development altered the wilderness character of these Northwoods townships.
