About this map

Beltrami Island and the surrounding wilderness of Lake of the Woods County define this northern landscape in the late 1960s. The small settlement of Faunce serves as a lone outpost in a region dominated by conservation and reservation lands, featuring a Lookout Tower and Picnic Area. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal access, including a Winter Trail and several Jeep Trails that traverse the swampy terrain.

Large administrative boundaries overlay the natural features, with the Red Lake Indian Reservation occupying the eastern and southern portions of the sheet. To the west, the Red Lake State Wildlife Management Area and Beltrami Island State Forest manage the timber and habitat. This survey preserves the exact locations of local landmarks like Stoney Corners and several Gravel Pits used for road maintenance in this isolated sector of Minnesota.
