About this map

The Kabetogama State Forest dominates this landscape in northern St. Louis County, where intricate water systems define the geography. Centered on the broad expanse of Black Duck Lake and the nearby Elephant Lake, the area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and connected waterways like the Black Duck River and Lost River. In the southwest corner, the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, providing a vital industrial link through the township of Leiding. This 1960s survey captures the region's managed wilderness before modern development, notably featuring the Elephant Lake Lookout Tower on a high point overlooking the eastern shoreline. The map also detail the southern drainage of the Pelican River and several smaller basins including South Bog Lake and Chub Lake, illustrating the complex glacial topography of the Minnesota Northwoods.
