1959 Map of Pigeon Point

About this map

Pigeon Point reaches into the northern reaches of Lake Superior in this late 1950s survey of the border between Minnesota and Ontario. The peninsula is defined by a series of significant water features and islands, including the Pigeon River which tumbles over Pigeon Falls before entering Pigeon Bay. The map highlights a complex archipelago south of the point, featuring Susie Island, Lucille Island, and Porcupine Island, some of which show evidence of past exploration with labels like Magnet Island.
