1971 Map of Balsam Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

George Washington State Forest and the Chippewa National Forest meet in this 1971 orthophotomap of the Balsam Lake region in Itasca County. The landscape is a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including distinct bodies such as Eagle Lake, Whiskey Lake, and Bluebill Lake. Unlike traditional line maps, this orthophoto uses aerial imagery to show the actual forest canopy and vegetation density surrounding the water, providing an accurate view of the shoreline as it existed in the early 1970s.
