1973 Map of Fairland
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Pine Island State Forest and the Red Lake Indian Reservation converge in this remote orthophotomap of Koochiching County. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of the Black River, which cuts through dense timber and marshland in northern Minnesota. This 1970s record uses aerial imagery to document the isolated settlement at Fairland and the logistical network required for forest management and transportation in this borderland region. Traces of seasonal navigation and industry are evident through the markings for the Winter Trail and a local Gravel Pit. The Indian Pines Lookout Tower stands as a primary landmark for fire surveillance, overlooking a terrain where the boundary lines of state-managed forest and tribal lands intersect.
