1963 Map of Lapond Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Superior National Forest and Burnt Side State Forest dominate this 1960s landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of waterways and portages. The Moose River and Portage River navigate a series of rapids and falls, linking substantial bodies of water including Big Moose Lake and Big Rice Lake. The inclusion of depth curves and soundings for several lakes, provided by the Minnesota Department of Conservation, offers rare underwater topography for wilderness navigation. Small-scale resource extraction is visible through several Gravel Pits and a sandpit, while a Jeep Trail provides the only significant land-based penetration into the dense woods. This map captures the area before modern recreational intensity, preserving the location of established campsites along the river bends.
