1971 Map of Lawrence Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses the western portion of this 1971 orthophotomap, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The eastern boundary is dominated by the flow of the Lawrence Lake system and the winding Lower Lawrence Lake. This survey illustrates the township divisions of Balsam, Lawrence, and Wabana, where small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits scattered near the central lake chain. A string of interconnected waters, including Upper Hanson Lake, Middle Hanson Lake, and Lower Hanson Lake, forms a north-south corridor through the center of the quadrangle. Cultural landmarks are sparse in this heavily forested region, though the presence of the Lawrence Chapel near the river provides a specific point of interest for local historians and genealogists researching the area's rural development during the early 1970s.
