About this map

The White Earth Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this landscape, marking a significant jurisdictional line through the glacial terrain of northwestern Minnesota. During the mid-1960s, this area at the intersection of Norman, Mahnomen, and Becker counties was characterized by scattered wetlands and dedicated conservation zones. The map illustrates a network of protected lands, including the Moccasin State Wildlife Management Area, the Coburn State Wildlife Management Area, and the Waubun State Wildlife Management Area.

Surface water is a defining feature, with Spring Creek meandering through the northeast and larger bodies such as Apple Lake and Clarence Lake situated in the southern reaches. Sparse human infrastructure is evident through several Gravel Pits and a central Townhall, reflecting a rural township structure across Popple Grove, Fossum, and Walworth. This survey preserves the exact placement of local section lines and rural dwellings just before the modernization of regional transport networks.
