1972 Map of Solway

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across this northern Minnesota landscape, marking a historical line through Beltrami and Clearwater counties. In this 1970s orthophotomap, the aerial perspective reveals the dense forest cover and wetland pockets characteristic of the region, punctuated by the Clearwater River as it winds eastward. The small community of Solway sits at a transportation nexus where the Burlington Northern railroad runs parallel to the primary highway, while the Solway Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research. To the north, Pinewood is surrounded by timber and small clearings, reflecting the area's rural character.
