1972 Map of Peterson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across this orthophotomap of Beltrami County, marking a historic line through a landscape dominated by glacial lakes and woodlots. The map detail highlights the northern outskirts of Bemidji during the early 1970s, where the Bemidji Municipal Airport and its Beacon stand near the Soo Line tracks. This era shows a community in transition, with civic landmarks like the Northern Sch and Northern Cem serving the rural township, while leisure culture is represented by the Drive-in Theater along the highway. Extensive wetlands and water bodies such as Turtle Lake, Alice Lake, and Lake Campbell illustrate the complex hydrography of the region, interspersed with several gravel pits that supported local infrastructure growth. Small community hubs like Werner and the Chapel in the Pines provide specific touchpoints for local family historians.
