1951 Map of Zim

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The St Louis River meanders through the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, defining a landscape shaped by both natural waterways and heavy industrial transport. Small settlements such as Zim, Forbes, and Fens are oriented along the rail corridors of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range and the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroads. These tracks were vital arteries for the region’s timber and mineral wealth, connecting remote hamlets to larger trade hubs. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and small lakes, including Clover Lake and the interconnected Twin Lakes. Local history is preserved in features like the Forbes Cem and evidence of local industry at the Gravel Pits near Zim. To the northeast, the Fayal Township State Game Refuge provides a glimpse into the managed wilderness areas of the early 1950s.
