1973 Map of Ponemah
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Narrows separates the two massive basins of the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota, defining the geographic heart of the region. This 1973 orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view of the landscape, combining traditional topographic data with aerial photography to reveal the dense forest cover and wetlands surrounding Ponemah. Situated on the peninsula between Upper Red Lake and Lower Red Lake, the community is anchored by local landmarks including a Radio Tower and several rural Cem sites. The imagery highlights the delicate transition between the water's edge and the inland marshes, marking the exact elevation of the normal reservoir pools at 1175 feet. This specific survey era captures the road network and settlement patterns within the reservation before further modern development altered the shoreline profile.
