1970 Map of Nett Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nett Lake Indian Reservation Boundary defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the expanse of Nett Lake dominates the upper right quadrant. This 1970 orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view of the Koochiching State Forest region, layering topographic contours over aerial photography to reveal the complex hydrology of the northern Minnesota wetlands. The Nett River snakes eastward from the lake's outlet, while the Little Fork River cuts through the western edge of the sheet. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this format clearly distinguishes the dense tree cover from the open water and marshlands. Several routes marked as Winter Trail cross the terrain, indicating the seasonal nature of movement through these woods, while Big Island stands as a prominent feature within the lake itself.
