1969 Map of Island

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Savanna State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where a complex network of wetlands and hydraulic engineering defines the local geography. In the late 1960s, the terrain was characterized by extensive swamp lands and the managed waters of the East Judicial Ditch No 1. The small settlement of Island sits along the Burlington Northern railroad line in the northeast corner, serving as a transit point near the Hartley Spur. To the south, the protected boundaries of Savanna Portage State Park begin to emerge. The presence of a Winter Trail through the township of Halden suggests the seasonal nature of transport and logging in this region, where geography dictates access and land use. Isolated water bodies like Potshot Lake dot the dense forest cover, providing landmarks within the otherwise uniform bog and timberland.
