1968 Map of Mulligan Lake SW

About this map

Beltrami Island State Forest dominates this landscape in northern Minnesota, where the dense wetlands and woods are intersected by the Roseau Co Beltrami Co line. The small settlement of Winner appears as a focal point for the few improved roads in the area, situated near Hansen Creek and a local Gravel Pit. The map captures a transition in land use, showing the established Red Lake Indian Reservation boundaries and the early development of Hayes Lake State Park in the northwest. Much of the southern terrain is crisscrossed by a Jeep Trail, reflecting the remote and swampy character of the region during the late 1960s. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Elkwood Cem, a quiet landmark within the forest that speaks to the area's early settlement history.
