1977 Map of Grygla
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Red Lake Indian Reservation and the sprawling Beltrami Island State Forest dominate this Northern Minnesota landscape during the late 1970s. This region is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, such as Judicial Ditch No 11 and various county ditches, which modified the terrain to support the small agricultural communities of Grygla, Gatzke, and Thorhult. The map reveals a land heavily managed for both conservation and timber, featuring the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge and the Thief Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Local landmarks like the Linder Lookout Tower and Ridge Lookout Tower overlook the wooded tracts, while the Red Lake River flows through the southern reaches. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and the intersection of state, federal, and tribal lands before modern development further altered the wilderness character of the area.
