1959 Map of Pine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Gunflint Trail provides the primary access route through this dense wilderness corridor of the Arrowhead Region during the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the Brule River and the South Brule River, which flow through a high-elevation landscape of deep lakes and bogs. Settlement is almost non-existent here, marked only by the Gunflint Camp and a Lookout Tower atop the local heights. The map captures a transitional administrative landscape where the Minnesota State Forest and Superior National Forest converge. Notable water bodies such as Musquash Lake, Northern Light Lake, and Pine Mountain Lake sit amidst a terrain of ridges like Pine Mountain and the curiously named Woodpile, reflecting the region's character as a timber and recreation resource before significant modern development.
