1964 Map of Stingy Lake

About this map

The George Washington State Forest and Sturgeon River State Forest dominate this northern Minnesota landscape, where the boundary between Itasca and St. Louis counties runs through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. Originally field-checked in the mid-1960s, this survey documents a period of active resource management and early recreation within the Superior National Forest and surrounding state lands. A distinctive water system is traced through the Stuntz Brook, Day Brook, and the East River, connecting numerous named bodies of water including the central Stingy Lake and the smaller Koffman Lake. Scattered Gravel Pit labels indicate local infrastructure support for the gravel roads that weave through the timber stands. This document preserves the mid-century names of smaller features like Lake Fourndfour and Waymier Lake, providing an essential reference for local history and land-use studies.
