1970 Map of Oshawa

About this map

Badoura State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the 1970 landscape is defined by vast wetlands and timber management. The map details a specialized forestry infrastructure, including the State Nursery, a Firebreak, and the Badoura Lookout Tower. Small settlements and municipal markers like Oshawa and a Townhall sit along the county line between Hubbard and Cass counties. The hydrology of the region is particularly prominent, featuring the meandering Big Swamp Creek and several isolated water bodies such as Mow Lake, Nagel Lake, and South Haynes Lake. The transition from the rugged terrain of Bull Moose to the low-lying swamps illustrates the difficult conditions faced by early settlers and loggers in the townships of Deerfield and McKinley.
