1954 Map of Thompson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Cloquet Valley State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape of dense timber and complex hydrology. The Cloquet River and the Little Cloquet River wind through the terrain, feeding into a series of interconnected water bodies such as Alden Lake, Little Alden Lake, and Thompson Lake. To the south, the massive expanse of the Island Lake Reservoir defines the local topography, with its jagged shoreline and Numerous islands reflecting its role in regional water management. Sparse human activity is evident through scattered markers like the Gravel Pit and primitive roads that navigate the townships of Gnesen and Normann. This 1950s documentation provides a clear view of the area before modern development, capturing the essential character of the North Woods and its reliance on the river systems for both drainage and resource extraction.
