1964 Map of Norwegian Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Vermilion Lake dominates this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of bays, islands, and points. The northern reach of the lake is punctuated by Norwegian Bay and Black Bay, while the southern waters flow through the Wakemup Narrows into Wakemup Bay. This era shows the intersection of recreational and conservation interests, with the Wakemup Bay Campground positioned near the water's edge and large tracts of the Kabetogama State Forest and Sturgeon River State Forest providing protected buffer to the shoreline. Numerous named islands like Treasure Island and Goodwill Island suggest a long-established history of local navigation and summer habitation. The presence of several Gravel Pits inland indicates the local infrastructure needs of the time, while the various bays like Indian Bay and Waconda Bay highlight the complex geography of the Saint Louis County shoreline.
