1956 Map of Little Marais

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lake Superior defines the rugged shoreline of the North Shore, where the settlement of Little Marais sits at the edge of the Finland State Forest. This mid-century survey, published through the cooperation of the State of Minnesota Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission, documents a landscape shaped by powerful drainage systems. The Manitou River, Little Manitou River, and Caribou River all cut through steep topography to reach the lake, creating dramatic coastal features like Pork Bay and the distinctive Sugar Loaf Cove.
