1971 Map of Elmwood Island

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The jurisdictional boundary between Koochiching and Itasca counties runs through a dense network of timberlands and glacial lakes in this early 1970s orthophotomap. The landscape is defined by the intersection of several managed wilderness areas, including Chippewa National Forest, Koochiching State Forest, and Pine Island State Forest. These forests are punctuated by a high density of water bodies, most notably the expansive Island Lake featuring Elmwood Island and the long, irregular reach of Moose Lake. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the form of a Gravel Pit and the Wagner Lake Lookout Tower, positioned near Wagner Lake in the Blackduck State Forest. The map uses a photographic base to reveal the intricate patterns of wetland vegetation and forest cover that separate smaller named waters like Hendrickson Lake, Fiske Lake, and Eel Lake.
