1960 Map of Sawbill Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness dominate this northern landscape, which transitions from recreational campgrounds to remote water networks. The map documents the persistent traces of 20th-century industry through the Old Grade Railroad and Old Railroad Grade that cut across the timbered terrain, reflecting the era's reliance on rail for resource extraction. Centered around Sawbill Camp, the area is defined by its intricate hydrology, including large water bodies like Burnt Lake, Crescent Lake, and Rice Lake. Cultural features such as the Baker Lake Campground and various gravel pits along Sawbill Road illustrate how early forest management and infrastructure development shaped the accessibility of the Cook County interior before it was further designated for wilderness preservation.
