1963 Map of Takucmich Lake

About this map

Lac La Croix and the Namakan River define the international boundary at the northern edge of this 1963 survey, where the Minnesota-Ontario border separates the Superior National Forest from Quetico Provincial Park. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of interconnected waterways and islands, including Fortyone Island and Dome Island. To the north, the Neguaguon Lake Indian Reserve No 25D borders the namesake Neguaguon Lake. The interior is dotted with numerous smaller bodies of water like Takucmich Lake, Beartrack Lake, and Ge-be-on-e-quet Lake, many of which feature established campsites along their shores. This map provides a detailed look at the wilderness geography before modern changes, documenting the intricate topography and the primitive trails that served as the primary routes through this lake-rich region.
