2016 Map of Two Harbors

About this map

The Lake Superior coastline at Two Harbors serves as the focal point for this 2016 survey, where the town's industrial and maritime layout meets the rugged northern shore. The harbor is clearly defined by Agate Bay and Burlington Bay, protected landings that historically supported the regional iron ore trade. Moving inland, the map captures a transition from the urban grid of Two Harbors to the smaller rural settlements of Waldo and Stewart. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites such as Lakeview Cem and Holy Spirit Catholic Cem, which provide clues to the community’s heritage and growth over the decades. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with the Stewart River, Little Stewart River, and Skunk Cr draining toward the lake. Prominent landmarks like Pork City Hill and the Richard B Helgeson Airport mark the higher ground, illustrating how the region's topography has influenced modern transportation and settlement patterns along the North Shore.
