1970 Map of Littlefork NW

About this map

Smokey Bear State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the meandering course of the Big Fork River carves deep oxbows and loops through a dense wetland environment. This 1970 orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic detail, capturing the remote character of Koochiching County. Near the riverbanks, the Riverside Cem provides a specific point of interest for local history and genealogy. The map also documents the practical infrastructure of the era, from several Gravel Pit excavations to an extensive network of Winter Trails that crisscross the saturated lowlands, indicating a landscape where movement was historically dictated by the freezing of the ground.
