1957 Map of Markham

About this map

The Whiteface Reservoir dominates the landscape of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the dense timberlands of the Superior National Forest. This region of St. Louis County is defined by its complex waterway network, where the St Louis River and Whiteface River wind through state and national forests. The northeastern corner touches the edge of the Mesabi Range, a site of significant industrial importance signaled by the presence of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad line and the Skibo Lookout Tower.
