1970 Map of Littlefork SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Koochiching State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, revealing a remote wilderness defined by seasonal access and the timber industry as it stood in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal transportation, including the Winter Trail and Winter Trails that cross through low-lying marshlands and forests. These routes were essential for regional movement and logging when the ground was frozen, providing a stark contrast to the permanent line of the Burlington Northern railroad that cuts diagonally across the terrain. Waterways like the Bear River and Hay Creek wind through the township grids, while the Wisner Grove Trail offers another glimpse into the backcountry roads of the era. A solitary Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction, serving as a rare industrial mark on an otherwise largely undeveloped forest expanse.
