1968 Map of Birchdale SE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The northern Minnesota wilderness of Pine Island State Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by vast tracts of bog and lowland forest during the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by its seasonal accessibility, evidenced by an extensive network of the Winter Trail, which provided critical passage for logging or transport when the ground was frozen. These trails weave through the drainage of the West Fork Black River, which snakes across the central portion of the sheet. Bordering these state lands, portions of the Red Lake Indian Reservation and Red Lake Ind Res appear on the western edge. Notable isolated features include Lost Lake in the southwest and a small Gravel Pit, hinting at the sparse infrastructure required for maintaining the remote forest roads of Koochiching County.
