1971 Map of Dixon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Dixon Lake and the winding course of the Third River dominate this orthophotomap of northern Itasca County, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of major timber and water resources. The terrain is a complex mosaic of protected lands, including portions of the Chippewa National Forest, Blackduck State Forest, and Bowstring State Forest. These forest boundaries intersect near the extensive Third River Flowage, an area of managed water levels that feeds into the northern reaches of Lake Winnibigoshish. Smaller, isolated water bodies like Bog Lake, Minisogama Lake, and Morph Lake are scattered through the dense forest cover, reflecting the post-glacial hydrology of the region. The aerial photography from 1969 provides a distinct view of the vegetation patterns and logging access roads that supported the local timber economy during the early 1970s.
