1953 Map of Shaw

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad forms a clear north-south axis through this corner of St. Louis County, tracing the edge of a prominent Valley. The small settlement of Shaw sits at the northern end of this corridor, marked by a local Cem and proximity to the winding Bug Creek. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the dense woodlands of the Cloquet Valley State Forest, a landscape defined by its complex drainage systems and isolated water bodies. These wetlands feed into the Us-Kab-Wan-Ka River and eventually reach the Island Lake Reservoir in the southeast. This 1953 survey captures the region's character as a transition between timber management and the edge of the Iron Range rail network, showing clear township boundaries for Cotton, Fredenberg, and Grand Lake.
