1960 Map of Long Island Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness dominates this landscape along the international border, where intricate chains of lakes and portages defined the travel routes of the mid-20th century. Centered within the Superior National Forest, the map captures the transition from logging and early resource extraction toward a protected wilderness character. High points like the Gunflint Lookout Tower provided critical vantage points over the surrounding timber, while the historic Gunflint Trail serves as the primary artery connecting the backwoods to the outside world. To the north, the boundary between Ontario and Minnesota follows the water through Magnetic Lake and Gunflint Lake. Local industrial efforts are marked by a Mine near Mine Lake and a Gravel Pit along the Cross River, illustrating the pockets of work that persisted alongside the Forest Service Guard Station.
