Point 2230 (at 2230 feet) was considered to be the highest point in the Misquah Hills, and indeed in the state of Minnesota, until the region was resurveyed in 1961.Summit plaque, Eagle Mountain, Minnesota Historical Society, 1967. This survey not only established that Eagle Mountain was significantly higher than the Misquah Hills, but found additional points higher than Point 2230 within the Misquah Hills themselves. Thus the high point of the Misquah Hills was established as point 2260 (at 2260 feet), located on the east edge of Winchell Lake.Minnesota's Mineral Resources p. 230. Accessed January 13, 2013.
