1973 Map of Erie NE

About this map

The Red Lake Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this northern Minnesota survey, where the dense hydrology of the region meets a complex history of land demarcation. A prominent diagonal line marks the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, slicing through the terrain where Beltrami, Marshall, and Pennington counties converge. This orthophotomap, derived from 1969 aerial photography, reveals a mosaic of wetlands and forest patches characteristic of the area near the Carmel State Wildlife Management Area. Sparse human infrastructure is evident through scattered resource extraction sites like the Sandpit, connected by a grid of unimproved roads that trace the section lines across this remote wilderness during the early 1970s.
