1967 Map of Marion Lake

About this map

Voyageurs Nat Park and the Superior National Forest converge in this northern Minnesota wilderness, illustrating a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways. The map showcases the transition between protected lands, with the Kabetogama State Forest encompassing much of the southern terrain. Water is the dominant feature, as the Moose River and Johnson River wind through dense forests, connecting prominent bodies of water like Marion Lake, Moose Lake, and the elongated Long Lake. Smaller features such as Bluebird Lake, Pot Hole Lake, and Spring Lake dot the interior, separated by a sparse system of paths including a Jeep Trail. Evidence of local resource extraction appears near the southern boundary, where several Gravel Pits are located. This survey reflects the region's character as a managed natural resource area, where the boundaries of state and national jurisdictions overlap amidst the northern woods.
