1954 Map of West Duluth

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Industrial developments and established neighborhoods of Duluth and Superior line the complex estuary where the St Louis River meets St Louis Bay. This 1954 topography, revised in 1993, captures the heavy transport infrastructure of the mid-century, including the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range and Northern Pacific railroads serving the waterfront. Residential pockets like the planned industrial community of Morgan Park and the distinct neighborhoods of Steelton, Gary, and New Duluth are clearly delineated against the steep escarpment of the North Shore. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Proctor and Bardon Peak, while the river itself is dotted with islands and points such as Clough Island and Dwights Point. The map also preserves the locations of local institutions like Oneota Cem and Denfeld High Sch, reflecting the civic growth of the Twin Ports.
