1970 Map of Shovel Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chippewa National Forest and the Land O' Lakes State Forest dominate this section of the northern Minnesota lake country. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and small glacial lakes, including Shovel Lake, Little Thunder Lake, and Whiskey Lake. The Soo Line railroad cuts across the northeastern corner, passing the small community area near Shovel Lake, where a Townhall and Lakeview Cem are situated. This 1970s survey captures a wilderness-adjacent region defined by its timber and recreation potential, showing an extensive Snowmobile Trail winding through the forested terrain. The drainage patterns of the Willow River and Moose River illustrate the slow-moving, meandering water systems typical of the area before modern intensive development.
