1981 Map of Slate Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Stony River meanders through a dense lacustrine landscape in this early 1980s survey of Lake County, where three major public forests converge. The map showcases the interface between the Superior National Forest, Bear Island State Forest, and Finland State Forest. A network of winter trails and unimproved roads connects remote water bodies like Denley Lake, Jackpot Lake, and the uniquely named Wampus Lake. While primarily wilderness, the presence of the Happy Wanderer settlement and various Gravel Pit sites indicates the light human footprint of recreation and resource management in this region. The detailed hydrography, including Kelly Creek and Nip Creek, reveals a complex drainage pattern characteristic of the Arrowhead Region’s glaciated terrain before modern development altered these remote northern reaches.
