1982 Map of Mt Weber

About this map

Superior National Forest and Finland State Forest dominate this northeastern Minnesota landscape, where the terrain is defined by the high point of Mt Weber and a dense network of timber-focused infrastructure. The industrial character of the early 1980s is evident in the presence of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range and a dedicated Mining Railroad cutting through the forest. These routes, combined with an Old RR Grade, reflect the region's reliance on mineral and timber extraction. Water remains central to the area's geography, with the Stony River and Silver Creek winding through the lowlands, alongside numerous named bodies like Sullivan Lake and Hjalmer Lake. Recreational and logistical outposts are scattered throughout, including the White Pine Picnic Area and the isolated Heliport Jordan, providing a clear view of how this rugged Lake County interior was managed and accessed during the period.
