About this map

White Earth State Forest blankets the northern half of this Becker County quadrangle, encompassing a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The entire area is situated within the White Earth Indian Reservation, reflecting a landscape defined by traditional land use and natural conservation. To the south, the expansive Big Rush Lake serves as a prominent landmark, joined by numerous smaller bodies of water like Kneebone Lake and the linear Lake of the Valley.

Settlement patterns are sparse, characterized by the Community Hall near the southern boundary and the prominent Pine Point peninsula. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit positioned near the center of the sheet, while the northern terrain transitions into the Round Lake management area. This survey documents the intersection of public forest land and tribal reservation territory before significant modern development altered these remote northern reaches.
