1972 Map of Skunk Lake

About this map

Potato Lake anchors the southern expanse of this Hubbard County terrain, surrounded by a dense network of glacial basins and interconnected waterways. The township boundaries of Clover, Arago, and Emma divide a landscape defined by its varied water bodies, ranging from the elongated Island Lake to the scattered clusters of Many Arm Lake and Churchill Lake. The orthophotomap format provides a unique view of the 1970s vegetation and shoreline patterns, highlighting the transition between open water and the surrounding timberland. Human activity is visible through the designated Public Access points along the larger lakes and a Gravel Pit located near the eastern shore of Eagle Lake, indicating the local resource extraction and recreational footprint during this era. This 1972 survey, based on 1969 aerial photography, documents the intricate hydrography of the region before significant modern development altered these shores.
