About this map

The Beltrami Island State Forest dominates this landscape on the border of Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a complex wetland environment where the Red Lake Indian Reservation meets managed forest lands. Resource extraction and forestry infrastructure are evident through scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of the Lookout Tower BM 1208 situated near the West Branch Warroad River.

Remote transportation routes like the Bednar Trail provide the primary access through the dense vegetation and marshes. For genealogists and local historians, the Pine Ridge Cem in the northeastern section of the map offers a significant point of interest for tracing early families in this part of Northern Minnesota. The drainage patterns and boundary lines reveal the intersection of state, county, and tribal jurisdictions in a region defined by its water and woods.
