1960 Map of Sawbill Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Sawbill Camp and its surrounding glacial lake country are defined here by a dense network of water bodies and remnant industrial infrastructure within the Superior National Forest. While the northern section is dominated by interconnected basins like Kelly Lake, Peterson Lake, and the expansive Crescent Lake, the southern reaches reveal the area's history of resource extraction. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and Old Grade Railroad running through the bottom of the map points to former timber operations that once moved logs through this interior. Localized industrial activity is further evidenced by a Sandpit near Baker Lake and a Gravel Pit near the camp itself. Outdoor recreation is established by the Baker Lake Campground and the primary access route of Sawbill Road, showing the transition of this forest toward the managed wilderness character it maintains today.
