About this map

White Earth State Forest and the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge dominate this late-1960s landscape, illustrating a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology and conservation boundaries. Located entirely within the White Earth Indian Reservation, the map details a dense network of water bodies, including the sprawling Many Point Lake and the nearly circular Round Lake. The drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, tracing the Otter Tail River as it flows through the southern reaches and the Egg River connecting Egg Lake and Lower Egg Lake.

Several spillways, such as Spillway Elev 1498, indicate managed water levels across the basin's interconnected lakes. The terrain is characterized by named groves and timber stands like Maple Grove and Sugar Bush, while smaller, specific features like Tea Cracker Lake and Spindler Lake provide fine-grained landmarks for local history researchers and conservationists studying the mid-century state of these protected Minnesota wetlands.
