1974 Map of Oaks Corner SW

About this map

Beltrami Island State Forest dominates this orthophotomap, revealing a northern Minnesota landscape defined by extensive wetland management and timber conservation during the mid-1970s. The survey captures the intersection of the Red Lake State Wildlife Management Area and the Red Lake Ind Res, showcasing a region almost entirely devoid of traditional roads or permanent settlements. Instead, the aerial photography highlights the intricate patterns of forest boundaries and drainage, as well as the political border between Lake of the Woods Co and Beltrami Co. This document is a precise record of the peatlands and woods in the Oaks Corner SW quadrangle, where the natural terrain and state-managed wildlife habitats take precedence over human infrastructure.
