1971 Map of Northome South

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Island Lake and its intricate eastern shoreline dominate this 1970s orthophotomap, showing the watery landscape of northern Minnesota where the Koochiching and Itasca county lines meet. The small settlements of Northome and Bergville serve as local hubs, connected by the Burlington Northern railroad and highways 71 and 1. This survey provides a distinct photographic look at the region's transition between managed timberlands and natural wetlands, with the Blackduck State Forest covering the southern reaches. Local landmarks like the Northome Lookout Tower and a Fish Hatchery near Bartlett Lake are clearly marked, alongside the Forest Hill and Oakum cemeteries. The density of small water bodies like Nesseth Lake and the winding Popple River illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the north woods, where the timber economy and outdoor resources like Moose Park intersect.
