1971 Map of Bena NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lake Winnibigoshish dominates this orthophotomap, which utilizes high-altitude aerial imagery from 1969 to illustrate the vast aquatic landscape of north-central Minnesota. The reservoir is captured at a normal pool elevation of 1299 feet, reflecting the regulated nature of this massive water body within the Chippewa National Forest and Bowstring State Forest. The map provides a hybrid view, combining traditional topographic contour lines with a direct photographic record of the shoreline and surrounding timberland. The Itasca Co Cass Co line bisects the water along an Indefinite Boundary, highlighting the difficulty of precise surveying across such extensive wetlands and open water. A single Boat Ramp on the eastern shore marks one of the few improved access points in this largely protected wilderness area.
