1972 Map of Peterson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The glacial landscape of Beltrami County is defined here by a dense network of lakes and marshes, ranging from the large Turtle Lake to the smaller Meadow Lake and Alice Lake. This 1972 survey captures a rural landscape undergoing modern transitions, evidenced by the presence of the Bemidji Municipal Airport and a Drive-in Theater near the southern corporate boundary. A notable historical boundary, the Treaty Boundary, cuts through the northern section near the small settlement of Werner. Rural community life is anchored by institutions like Northern Sch, Northern Cem, and the Chapel in the Pines. To the east and west, the map details the protected lands of the Buena Vista State Forest and Mississippi State Headwaters Forest, while the defunct Old Grade hints at earlier logging or rail transport corridors that once traversed these woods.
