About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the northern horizon of this 1974 orthophotomap, showing its shoreline at a pool elevation of 1175 feet. The landscape is a mosaic of dense forests and wetlands, managed through a series of designated zones including the Waskish State Forest, Shotley State Forest, and Woodrow State Forest. Small settlements such as Domaas and Otto sit near the lakefront, while the interior is defined by watercourses like Shotley Brook and the Battle River.

A notable historical marker on this map is the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, which cuts across the terrain, reflecting the region's complex administrative history alongside the Red Lake Indian Reservation. The map's photographic base provides an exceptionally clear view of land-use patterns, from small isolated fields and the Flowing Well to the expansive, undeveloped reaches of the Kelliher State Forest.
