1954 Map of Mc Carthy Creek

About this map

The Cloquet Valley State Forest dominates this northern landscape, where the town limits of Alden and Duluth meet along the boundary of St Louis and Lake counties. Heavily forested and punctuated by wetlands, the area is defined by the winding paths of the Knife River, McCarthy Creek, and Stanley Creek. While the terrain remains largely undeveloped, human activity is marked by an Old Railroad Grade and Holmstead Road, indicating early timber or transport routes through the woods.
