1959 Map of Pine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Brule River winds through the heart of this Northwoods landscape, which was documented during the late 1950s and updated with mid-1980s data. This terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways, including Northern Light Lake, Musquash Lake, and the remote Assinika Lake. Connectivity is provided by the iconic Gunflint Trail, which serves as the primary artery through the Superior National Forest. For local history and genealogy, the map identifies the Gunflint Camp (Site) and a Lookout Tower positioned atop Pine Mountain, overlooking the vast Brule River State Forest. The presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered logging activity, evidenced by labels like Woodpile and Logger Lake, highlights the era's reliance on forest resources and seasonal transit in northeastern Minnesota.
