Map of portage routes and trails in and around Jay Cooke State Park in St. Louis County, Minnesota. The map also includes the town of Cloquet, the St. Louis River and Fond Du Lac Park.
This is a state of Minnesota map prepared by Stafford King, State Auditor, St. Paul, Minnesota. The map shows state parks (22) and Monuments (8) as well as state forests. We assume that Oberholtzer has hand-colored the Superior National Forest with green crayon including a portion south to nearly Beaver Bay and portions near Vermillion Lake and including State Forests and Burntside Forests. A hand-drawn orange boundary line is undefined. On the reverse side of the map we find MN town and city population figures from 1930 census reports. Minneapolis = 464,356 and Rochester, MN = 20,621.
This is a portion of a planning map of the boundary waters country. It discusses / educates readers about additions to protected lands as well as forest service road ways. Shows purchase unit boundary, additions and eliminations, existing and proposed forest service roads. Camp grounds and recreational groups are also noted in 1-10-34 notations on a 1928 map. Legend notes are likely Oberholtzer's.
Using a 1928 highway map of Minnesota, Ernest Oberholtzer mapped the Superior National Forest and the impact of the proposed Shipstead Newton (Nolan) Bill (1930) as well as an amendment called "Hastings Amendment." Ober's notes are in colored pencil: (red) Area to which provisions of bill would apply if Hastings Amendment were adopted. And (blue) Area in which federal lands are withdrawn under Shipstead Newton Bill. Oberholtzer's handwriting. He also noted "Present Area of SNF shown in yellow" outline. Map is in fair condition.
Having found the outlet of Nutheltin Lake, Oberholtzer and Billy Magee continued to paddle east to northeast to Hudson Bay on the unmapped Thlewiaza River. This map shows geographic detail on both shores, marks the current or rapids, and remarks on shoreline features: "white spruce, last trees, or embankments of boulders." At the mouth of the riverHudson Bay a small notation of Bight's Camp. Ink map created from journal sketches.
