1981 Map of Mitawan Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Stony River Superior National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and marshy drainage basins. The presence of the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad (Abandoned) crossing the southeastern corner points to the region's earlier industrial logging history, while the 1980s recreation economy is evident through the Environmental Center (USFS) and numerous trails. Waterways such as the Little Isabella River and Inga Creek connect larger basins like Mitawan Lake and Gegoka Lake. Unique local nomenclature is visible in features like Steamhaul Lake, likely referencing the specialized machinery once used to move timber through these woods. The transition from industrial resource extraction to protected forest management is captured here, with established sites like a Picnic Area, Campground, and Boat Ramp supporting modern wilderness access alongside old railroad grades.
