1996 Map of Sugar Point

About this map

Leech Lake defines the western half of this landscape, its waters meeting the peninsula of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation at points that carry significant historical weight. The map shows the site of the Battleground near Fivemile Point, marking a specific intersection of indigenous and federal history within the Chippewa National Forest. The transition from the open lake to the dense Sugar Point Bog illustrates the varied wetland environments of northern Minnesota during the late twentieth century.
