About this map

The Remer State Forest and Chippewa National Forest converge in this orthophotomap, showing a dense mosaic of peatlands and timber at the onset of the 1970s. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the North Fork and South Fork of the Willow River wind through a series of kettle lakes and glacial depressions. Cultural signatures are sparse but telling, dominated by the diagonal corridor of the Soo Line railroad which cuts through the forest northwest of Hill River State Forest. This orthophoto format provides a clear view of vegetation patterns and wetland boundaries often obscured on traditional line maps, specifically around the isolated basins of Holy Water Lake and Shingle Mill Lake. A single Gravel Pit near the river indicates localized resource extraction in an otherwise largely undeveloped timber and wilderness area.
