1996 Map of Dora Lake

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Big Fork River flows through a complex network of wetlands and glacial lakes. The settlement of Dora Lake serves as a local hub near the northern reaches of the sheet, while the smaller community of Oslund sits further south between the marshes. This 1990s revision by the Forest Service highlights the intersection of public lands and the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, showing the Administrative Boundary that divides the terrain. Water management and conservation are evident through features like Shogren Dam and the Shogren Dam Impoundment, alongside natural water bodies such as Rice Lake and Sand Lake. For genealogists, the Pine Grove Cemetery provides a specific point of interest within this largely forested and aquatic environment, which is also traversed by a traditional Winter Trail.
