1953 Map of Lakewood

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the landscape of this mid-century survey, meeting the shore along a series of parallel scenic roadways including Shore Line Drive and North Shore Drive. The settlement of Lakewood serves as a focal point near the northern edge of Duluth, where the industrial and transport infrastructure of the era is evident in the path of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad. This line follows the lakefront closely, supporting the region's historical connection to iron ore transport. Further inland, the terrain rises toward Moose Mountain, with the Lester River cutting through the wooded hills. Small local landmarks like the North Shore Chapel and a waterfront Pumping Station provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of the lake's North Shore before the expansion of modern highways.
