1973 Map of Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Pine Island State Forest dominates this topographic study of northern Koochiching County, showing a landscape defined by expansive peatlands and managed timber. The orthophotomap format, derived from 1969 aerial photography, provides a rare visual of the forest canopy and drainage patterns in this remote region. In the south, Seretha Lake is a primary water feature, supported by a Public Access point that highlights the area's value for local recreation. Movement through the dense terrain is dictated by a few critical arteries, including the Gemmell Road and a designated Winter Trail, reflecting the seasonal logistics of logging and transit in Minnesota's boggy northern interior. This survey captures the intersection of state land management and the natural hydrology of the forest during the early 1970s.
