1951 Map of Makinen

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Makinen stands as a focal point in this portion of the Iron Range, situated amid a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands in St. Louis County. The landscape is defined by the extensive Cloquet Valley State Forest, where the Paleface River and Water Hen Creek drain a terrain marked by numerous basins, including the prominently elongated Long Lake and the circular Section Fourteen Lake. A Town Hall in the eastern sector indicates the organized township life of White and Colvin during the early 1950s. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Little Markham Lake suggests localized industrial activity supporting the area's infrastructure. Hydrological features like Morcom Lake, Wabuse Lake, and Little Mud Hen Lake dominate the geography, illustrating the transition between upland forest and the marshy lowlands typical of northern Minnesota's wilderness regions before significant modern development.
