About this map

Koochiching State Forest and George Washington State Forest converge in this northern Minnesota landscape, creating a dense mosaic of woodland and wetlands. The orthophotomap format provides a direct view of the boggy terrain and lake networks during the early 1970s, highlighting the isolation and natural character of the region.

Remote access is traced by the Winter Road and the Holstrum Spur Trail, indicating the seasonal nature of transit in this environment. Central to the sheet are several water bodies, most notably Franklin Lake 1358, along with Paquette Lake and Harrigan Lake. The boundary between Koochiching and Itasca Counties cuts through the southern portion of the map, where a lone Gravel Pit suggests localized resource extraction amidst the wilderness.
