1971 Map of Sucker Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Leech Lake Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through this landscape, delineating the complex land status common in Northern Minnesota during the early 1970s. This orthophotomap combines traditional topographic data with aerial imagery, providing a clear view of the dense timber within the Chippewa National Forest and Bowstring State Forest. The northern section is dominated by the east-west transit corridor of the Burlington Northern and Soo Line railroads, reflecting the region's importance to timber and freight transport. The hydrography is particularly striking, moving from Grass Lake and Foot Lake in the north through the central Sucker Lakes chain, eventually draining via Sucker Creek into the expansive Leech Lake Bay. Smaller, uniquely named features like Life Raft Lake dot the interior, illustrating the pocketed wetlands that define the terrain of Cass County.
