1969 Map of Ebro NW

About this map

The White Earth Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across this lake-strewn landscape in northwestern Minnesota, where the water table dominates the geography. The map shows a transition from the prairie edge into a dense network of glacial wetlands and water bodies, including the irregular shores of Island Lake and the elongated Sugar Bush Lake. Local land use is reflected in the conservation of the Budde Meadow State Wildlife Management Area, which preserves the complex marshland south of Annawaush Lake. To the east, the Wild Rice River winds through the township of Clover, while the northern reaches in Heier are dotted with family-named features like Simonson Lake and Matt Ayers Lake. Human settlement is centered around landmarks such as St Agnes Ch and a nearby Cem, indicating the established rural communities that relied on the Pine Bend Road for access to this waterfowl-rich terrain.
