1953 Map of Shaw

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Shaw serves as the primary settlement within this northern landscape, situated near a small Cem and the northern reaches of the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Us-Kab-Wan-Ka River, which cuts through the Cloquet Valley State Forest. This mid-century survey illustrates a region shaped by timber and water management, notably where the southeastern corner meets the Island Lake Reservoir. The map captures the quiet transition between the townships of Grand Lake and Fredenberg, showing a network of rural routes connecting remote water bodies like Morgan Lake and Cooks Lake. The presence of the railroad line running parallel to the river suggests the importance of industrial transport in moving raw materials out of the St. Louis County woods during the early 1950s.
