1953 Map of Twig

About this map

The Cloquet State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this map, where the Cloquet River and Beaver River wind through a landscape defined by timber and water. The central focus is the massive Fish Lake Reservoir, with its intricate shoreline and the Fish Lake Dam regulating its levels. Transportation in the early 1950s was anchored by the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad, which provided a vital connection for settlements like Taft and Twig Station.
