About this map

Red Lake Indian Reservation lands dominate this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Red Lake River flows west away from the western shore of Lower Red Lake. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the complex hydrology and forest patterns along the Clearwater Co Beltrami Co line during the early 1970s. The terrain is characterized by intricate wetlands and the managed water levels of the lake, noted at a normal reservoir pool elevation 1175 feet.

Local transportation and utility are marked by the Winter Trail in the north and more formal routes like Farm Station Road further south. Points of interest for local researchers include the Gaging Station on the river and a Gravel Pit near BM 1196, reflecting the sparse but functional infrastructure of this protected area. The southern portion of the sheet also captures the secluded Sandy Lake set back from the main lakefront.
