1954 Map of West Duluth

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Industrial corridors and residential growth define the landscape where the St Louis River widens into St Louis Bay. This 1954 survey, photorevised in 1969, reveals a dense network of transit and industry, centered around the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range and Northern Pacific railroads. Planned company towns and workers' neighborhoods like Morgan Park and Steelton sit adjacent to massive industrial footprints, while the heights above West Duluth are marked by the winding path of Skyline Drive. Across the water, the Wisconsin shoreline remains comparatively less developed, characterized by the expansive wetlands of Pokegama Bay and the wooded terrain of Clough Island. The map records a critical era for the Twin Ports, documenting everything from the Arrowhead Bridge to the quiet grounds of Oneota Cemetery and Graceland Cemetery.
