1956 Map of Metigoshe Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Turtle Mountains dominate this landscape along the international boundary, where the Lake Metigoshe State Park straddles a labyrinth of glacial lakes and islands. This mid-century survey reveals a community deeply rooted around the water, with public spaces like Masonic Island and named landmarks such as Rugby Point and Squaw Pt defining the shoreline. The distribution of rural infrastructure across the townships of Roland and Homen suggests a settled agricultural and recreational pattern, evidenced by the numerous district schools including Hilton Sch No 3 and Loon Lake Sch No 5. Away from the central lake, smaller water bodies like Sivertson Lake and Lee Lake punctuate the wooded hills. The presence of Vinje Ch and Norland Ch marks the social centers for the surrounding homesteads in the decades following the initial settlement of Bottineau County.
