1963 Map of Redhorse Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Namakan Lake and its intricate northern shorelines dominate this borderland survey, which documents the remote aquatic wilderness of the Boundary Waters region in the early 1960s. The map illustrates the complex intersection of the Namakan River and the lake, featuring hazardous water navigation points like Lady Rapids and the tight passage of the Namakan Narrows. This is a landscape shaped by water management and conservation, where the pool elevations of Kabetogama Lake are carefully noted alongside the protected timberlands of Superior National Forest and Kabetogama State Forest. Evidence of recreational use is visible through several numbered Campsites peppered along the rocky points and islands. This survey captures the pristine character of the international boundary between Minnesota and Ontario before modern development, marking significant geographical features such as Sand Point and the sheltered waters of Redhorse Bay.
