Lake Superior dominates this northeastern Minnesota survey, where the cooling waters meet the shoreline of eastern Duluth. The terrain rises sharply from the lake towards Moose Mtn, reaching elevations of over 1000 feet just inland from the coastal road network. This topographical transition is carved by the Lester River, which flows through the rugged landscape before emptying into the Great Lake. The settlement of Lakewood is situated at the junction of Lakewood Rd and the coast, highlighting a corridor of development that follows the water. Historic transit routes like Congdon Blvd, Old N Shore Rd, and London Rd trace the shoreline, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure connecting this suburban area to the urban core of Duluth. The map also documents the state boundary where Minnesota and Wisconsin meet in the open waters of the lake.
