1953 Map of Knife River

Inland, the terrain rises toward the western edge of the city of Duluth, where local life is marked by the Community Ch, the Town Hall, and the Lake View Cem. Remnants of earlier transport efforts are visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the Stanley Road, while small-scale industry appears at the Gravel Pit and various nearby pits. The map captures the transition from the concentrated coastal activity near Knife Island to the higher, stream-cut woods along the Little Sucker River.
