1953 Map of Lakewood

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Lake Superior dominates this mid-century survey, its expansive waters meeting the shoreline along the eastern edge of Duluth. The settlement of Lakewood serves as a focal point where the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad tracks parallel the coast, tracing a corridor of early industrial and transit development. The mapping shows a landscape transitioning from the urban boundary into the wooded slopes of Moose Mountain, with several scenic thoroughfares including the Kitchi Gammi Parkway and Old North Shore Road following the natural contours of the lake. Local infrastructure and community life are marked by the Pumping Station and the North Shore Chapel, while the Lester River cuts through the terrain toward the lake. The inclusion of the Minnesota Wisconsin state line across the water and the St Louis Co Douglas Co boundary highlights the map's role in defining regional borders.
