1981 Map of Turpela Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The St Louis River and Partridge River wind through this northern Minnesota landscape, defining a region where the dense woods of the Superior National Forest meet a complex network of glacial lakes. In the early 1980s, the area's geography was characterized by a mix of natural waterways and the expansion of the Hoyt Lakes Village Boundary. Numerous family-named water bodies, such as Hautala Lake, Kumpula Lake, and Neff Lake, suggest a history of local settlement and land use. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a dedicated Heliport indicate active resource management and logistical support within the forest. Outdoor recreation and conservation are evident through established features like the Picnic Area and Boat Ramp at Norway Point, where the river broadens. This survey documents the specific hydrological and industrial footprint of the Iron Range area before more contemporary developments altered the local drainage patterns.
