1956 Map of Lost Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Lake Vermilion dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, a region defined by its complex shoreline and dense forest boundaries. The terrain is a mosaic of timberland and water, where the Minnesota State Forest and Kabetogama State Forest meet the northwestern edge of the Superior National Forest. While much of the landscape is dominated by expansive Swamp and timber, small pockets of human presence appear at Lehtinen and near the winding course of the Pike River. The mapping of depth curves within Frazer Bay and Daisy Bay highlights the era's focus on documenting the transition from wilderness to recreational waterways. Numerous named points of interest like Thirtysix Island and Birch Point provide specific geographic markers for those studying the evolution of the Iron Range region's backcountry and lakefront.
