Has anyone ever visited the ruins of the Spaulding mine on Spaulding Lake in the BWCA?  Any clues on how to find it?
Thanks.

no clue, but a suggestion

most mines are indicated on standard topo maps, if they existed the last time the map was updated -  does not seem to matter if they are old and shut down

Mad_mat's topo suggestion is good - but I can't see it on the (fairly current) ones I have.

This story might yield good clues...

Good luck - sounds like a good adventure.

Thanks for the suggestions from both of you.  The topo idea is a good one, I think I might try to scour some old survey maps for clues.  I am planning looking for the mine site during a trip this summer.  I will let you know if I find anything.
