1960 Map of The Cascades

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Canada United States border winds through this northern landscape, following the course of the Arrow River and the Pigeon River. This 1960 survey highlights a remote and significant corridor of the North Woods, where the international boundary meets the Grand Portage National Monument. At the western terminus of the historic Grand Portage trail lies the Site of Fort Charlotte, a key location for the fur trade era located along the banks of the Pigeon River. The terrain is defined by its water systems, including the namesake rapids at The Cascades and the prominent Pine Lake in the northeastern corner. This map serves as a detailed record of the borderlands between Thunder Bay District and Cook County, showing the intersection of Ontario and Minnesota just before the modern era of wilderness management took its current form.
