1956 Map of Metigoshe Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Turtle Mountains topography dominates this mid-century survey along the international border with Canada. The landscape is characterized by an intricate network of kettle lakes and wetlands, centered around the sprawling fingers of Metigoshe Lake. Settlement patterns in the mid-1950s appear dispersed across the townships of Roland, Whiteoak, and Cordelia, where rural life centered on a dense system of district schoolhouses. Several distinct facilities, including Loon Lake Sch No 1 and Hilton Sch No 5, are documented alongside landmarks like Masonic Island and Mackay Island. The establishment of Lake Metigoshe State Park indicates the area's transition toward recreation, while the presence of Vinje Ch and Norland Ch provides key points of interest for genealogists tracing Norwegian-American heritage in Bottineau County.
