1974 Map of Ponemah NE

About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the southern half of this orthophotomap, its shoreline forming a distinct boundary against the dense vegetation of the north. The landscape is primarily composed of the Red Lake Indian Reservation and the Red Lake State Wildlife Management Area, showing a terrain largely defined by forest and wetlands. Human intervention is sparse, represented by a few key corridors such as the Waskish Thorhult Road and a Winter Trail that cuts through the wilderness. This survey provides a precise visual record of the shoreline and internal drainage patterns in northern Minnesota during the mid-1970s. The aerial photography used to produce this map reveals the intricate texture of the peatlands and forest canopy within the reservation boundaries.
