1972 Map of Saum NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Red Lake State Forest dominates this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1969 high-altitude aerial imagery to reveal the complex wetlands and timberlands of northern Minnesota in the early 1970s. This specific survey area is bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a historical line that marks the edge of the Red Lake Indian Reservation. The land is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, including the winding Battle River, its South Branch, and Cormorant Creek. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this format provides a direct photographic look at the clearing patterns and swampy reaches across the townships of Woodrow, Kelliher, and Shooks. Human activity is sparse, evidenced primarily by isolated Gravel Pits and the straight-line cuts of logging roads through the dense forest cover.
