One half mile south of this point lie three islands, known as numbers 1, 2, and 3, in the St. Louis River, which were settled by Josiah Boardman Scovell, original U.S. patentee in 1881, who retained ownership for the balance of his life. The islands were donated as part of Jay Cooke State Park by Edith Scovell on Nov. 18, 1944, in memory of her father.
