1981 Map of Legler Lake

About this map

Norshor Junction serves as a lone named focal point in this heavily forested landscape within the Superior National Forest. The map illustrates a region defined by industrial transport and seasonal movement, notably the prominent Mining Railroad and an Old Grade that hint at the area's timber or mineral extraction history. Waterways like the Split Rock River and the upper reaches of the Gooseberry River wind through the township of Silver Creek, which is dotted with remote lakes including Langley Lake, Marble Lake, and the functionally named Water Tank Lake. This 1980s-era revision highlights the evolution of land use in the North Woods, showing an established network of recreational paths such as the Snowmobile Trail and Winter Trail alongside active extraction sites like the Gravel Pit near Kit Creek.
