1985 Map of Lake Itasca

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The White Earth Indian Reservation dominates this mid-1980s landscape, encompassing a vast network of glacial lakes and wetlands in northwestern Minnesota. The map documents the intricate conservation landscape of the era, where the Mississippi Headwaters State Forest and White Earth State Forest meet the protected boundaries of Itasca State Park. Significant local settlements like Mahnomen, White Earth, and Naytahwaush are shown alongside smaller outposts such as Elbow Lake Village and Bejou. The topography is marked by distinctive glacial features like Strawberry Mountain and Hogback Hill, while the Burlington Northern railroad corridor provides a clear industrial contrast to the surrounding Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. This survey captures the transition between the agricultural plains and the dense forest and lake country of the Mississippi headwaters before modern development expanded.
