1970 Map of Jessie Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Glacial lakes and dense forests dominate this orthophotomap of north-central Minnesota, where the Chippewa National Forest and Bowstring State Forest converge. The settlement of Talmoon sits at a crossroads near the northeastern shore of Jessie Lake, while the local Evergreen Knoll Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing area families. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, including the expansive Bowstring Lake with its distinct Muskrat Bay and Grouse Bay. A notable Railroad Grade runs along the western edge of Jessie Lake, marking a former corridor through the timberlands. Lookout points like the Jessie Lake Lookout Tower reflect the region's history of forest management and fire prevention during the mid-20th century, while the Winter Trail in the south highlights seasonal transport patterns through the wetlands.
