1953 Map of Twig

About this map

The Cloquet River and its intricate drainage system define the landscape of northern St. Louis County, where the Fish Lake Reservoir dominates the eastern terrain. This mid-century survey reveals a region shaped by timber and transportation, with the Cloquet Valley State Forest covering much of the northern half. The local economy and mobility are anchored by the dual presence of the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific and the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroads, which intersect the area near Taft and Twig Station.
