1960 Map of Mark Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Pike Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Cook County survey, where depth curves reveal the underwater topography of this significant water body. The area is defined by the dense woods of the Minnesota State Forest and the Superior National Forest, highlighting a mid-century wilderness managed for timber and recreation. Evidence of earlier industrial activity remains in the form of an Old Railroad corridor that cuts through the center of the map, while the presence of a Gravel Pit suggests the ongoing maintenance of the local road network. The Cascade River winds through the northern sections, supported by the Cascade River Campground for those navigating the North Shore's hinterlands. Smaller basins like Whale Lake, McDonald Lake, and Mark Lake are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the glaciated character of the Arrowhead Region during the early 1960s.
