1996 Map of Bowstring Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and marshlands defines the local geography. The settlement of Inger sits near the banks of the Bowstring River, which flows into the expansive Bowstring Lake. This 1996 update, incorporating decades of topographic data from the U.S. Forest Service, reveals the managed nature of the timberland, indicated by numerous administrative boundaries and the Deer River Marcell Ranger District. Notable local landmarks include the Sand Lake Church and a solitary Cemetery on the eastern shore of Leech Lake. The map details a complex hydrologic system, connecting Sand Lake through various smaller basins like Mushgee Lake and Portage Lake, providing a clear view of the region's wilderness character and early industrial activity at the Gravel Pit.
