1959 Map of Lima Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Misquah Hills dominate this portion of the Superior National Forest, presenting a complex landscape of glacial lakes and high ridges at the end of the 1950s. This survey captures the boundary between the State Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where water bodies like Vista Lake, Little Trout Lake, and Marshall Lake form a dense network of interior waterways. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Lima Mountain and Brule Mountain, which watch over the winding course of the Brule River. Evidence of earlier resource extraction and transport is still visible on the landscape, notably the Old Railroad Grade and several identified Gravel Pits. The map also documents recreational development at the Two Island Lake Campground, situated near the southern edge of this wilderness region, providing a specific look at the intersection of natural conservation and early forest management.
