About this map

Lake Superior dominates this coastal landscape where the North Shore terrain meets the water's edge northeast of Duluth. The settlement of Lakewood sits along the elevated shoreline, situated between the rising slopes of Moose Mtn and the lake. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern transportation corridor following the historic shoreline, with routes like Congdon Blvd, Old N Shore Rd, and Lakewood Rd providing access to the wooded residential and seasonal properties along the coast.

The Lester River cuts through the western portion of the map, draining the high ground near Brighton Beach Rd. Farther out in the water, the map marks the underwater state boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin, as well as the county line dividing St. Louis and Douglas counties. The interface of residential development and the steep, forested topography characteristic of the Arrowhead region is clearly defined by the contour lines surrounding the town.
