The logging era at Voyageurs National Park historic contexts and property types
Wyatt B. 1999. The logging era at Voyageurs National Park historic contexts and property types. Midwest Support Office, National Park Service. Omaha, Nebraska
The purpose of this report is to provide a historic context for logging-related resources at Voyageurs National Park, situated east of International Falls, Minnesota, on the United States/Canada border. Information in this report can be used in designing reconnaissance and intensive surveys, preparing National Register of Historic Places forms and determinations of eligibility, formulating management plans for historically significant areas, and interpreting logging landscapes. The Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has identified two historic contexts for the state’s lumbering era: St. Croix Lumbering and Northern Minnesota Lumbering. Logging at Voyageurs National Park clearly falls into the latter context. To date, the SHPO has minimally addressed the historic context, although The Definition and Evaluation of Log-Procurement Properties in Minnesota, by Douglas Birk, was published just as this report was being concluded.
