1973 Map of Manomin Creek SE

About this map

Indian Reservation land defines this aquatic landscape in Beltrami County, where the transition between the northern and southern basins of Red Lake is documented in sharp detail. This orthophotomap, derived from 1969 aerial photography, reveals the intricate shoreline and swampy interior terrain surrounding the Narrows. The topography is exceptionally flat, noted by the Upper Red Lake and Lower Red Lake pool elevations, which both rest at 1175 feet. A solitary Winter Trail cuts through the dense vegetation north of the lake, indicating the seasonal nature of travel and transport in this remote section of northern Minnesota. This specialized 1970s survey provides a clear look at the natural shoreline before modern developments, showing the delicate balance of water and land in the Red Lake region.
