Funkley and Shooks anchor this orthophotomap, showing the landscape of northern Minnesota as it appeared in the early 1970s. The region is defined by a dense network of wetlands and woodlands, through which the North Cormorant River and South Cormorant River meander. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a sharp diagonal across the southern half of the sheet, providing a stark linear contrast to the winding waterways like Petty Creek. Community life is centered around the small settlements in Shooks, Hornet, and Moose Park, where the St Joseph Ch and a nearby Cem mark the local social and genealogical foundations of the township. This particular edition uses aerial photography to detail the vegetation and clearing patterns, illustrating how logging and agriculture have shaped the terrain between Beltrami and Itasca counties.
