1972 Map of Red Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Red Lake Indian Reservation shoreline along Lower Red Lake anchors this early 1970s orthophotomap, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The settlement of Red Lake serves as the primary hub, situated near the northern edge where Point Creek enters the lake. This hybrid topographic-aerial view provides unique insight into the traditional and modern use of the land, showing the placement of the Sewage Disposal Pond and a Gravel Pit alongside significant local landmarks. Moving south toward the elevation of Maple Ridge, the terrain becomes densely packed with water bodies such as Kesagiagan Lake, Balm Lake, and Mina Lake. Genealogy and local history details are preserved through the location of the Dell Chapel and burial sites like the Red Lake Cem and Island Lake Cem.
