1973 Map of Chase Brook SW

About this map

Red Lake Indian Reservation lands dominate this orthophotomap, showing a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and timber stands within the Beltrami Island State Forest. The imagery reveals a series of distinct, elongated north-south trending ridges and islands of vegetation, characteristic of this peatland region. This area, shared between Beltrami Co and Lake of the Woods Co, serves as the Red Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Human impact is visible primarily through seasonal transport routes like the Winter Trail and drainage patterns near Troy Cr. The map lacks the typical grid of roads found in more settled regions, highlighting the remote and protected nature of the reservation and state forest lands during the early 1970s.
