1960 Map of Marr Island

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the southern reaches of this Cook County coastal survey, which documents the rugged North Shore landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The shoreline is characterized by rocky points and small landmarks like Marr Island and Paradise Beach, while the interior shows the deep-cut valleys of the Brule River and the Flute Reed River. Much of the northern terrain is managed wilderness within the Grand Portage State Forest and Judge C.R. Magney State Park. The road network is sparse, centered on the coastal highway designated as Route 61, which connects small recreational nodes like Arrowhead Park. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of a small Cem and a Gravel Pit, providing evidence of early settlement and resource extraction along this isolated stretch of the Great Lakes coast.
