1956 Map of Split Rock Point

About this map

Lake Superior’s North Shore exhibits its characteristic rocky geology and drainage patterns in the mid-1950s, defined by the sharp transition from the highland plateaus to the water's edge. The landscape is dominated by the cascading waters of Gooseberry Falls and the surrounding Gooseberry Falls State Park, where the Gooseberry River meets the lake. Evidence of the region’s earlier logging or industrial period remains visible through the Old Railroad Grade that winds parallel to the coastline near Castle Danger.
