1960 Map of Marr Island

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Judge C.R. Magney State Park and the Grand Portage State Forest dominate this stretch of the North Shore, where the Brule River cuts through the timbered uplands toward Lake Superior. The 1960 field data, updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a coastline defined by recreation and small-scale land use, featuring the Campground and Arrowhead Park near the river's mouth. Further west along the shore, Paradise Beach sits protected by the small landmass of Marr Island. Inland, the map documents a sparse network of roads and natural drainages like Gauthier Creek and Murphy Creek, alongside more practical markings of the era such as a Gravel Pit and a lone Cem (cemetery). This survey provides a clear look at the landscape before modern development further altered the entry points to the state parks and forest lands.
