1956 Map of Lost Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Vermilion Lake and its intricate northern bays define the landscape of this mid-century survey in St. Louis County. The map documents the northern wilderness as it transitioned through the 1950s and 1960s, showing the intersection of the Superior National Forest, Kabetogama State Forest, and the Minnesota State Forest. Water systems dominate the terrain, from the sprawling Daisy Bay and Birch Point to the smaller, isolated Lost Lake. In the southeastern corner, the Pike River feeds into the Pike River Flowage near a designated spillway, illustrating the hydraulic management of the region's river-and-lake network. Topography shows a mixture of high timberland and significant Swamp regions, characteristic of the Iron Range's surrounding lake country before modern development expanded through the north woods.
