1971 Map of Tobique

About this map

Boy Lake and the interconnected waters of the Chippewa National Forest dominate this orthophotomap, showing the landscape of Cass County in the early 1970s. The settlement of Tobique sits in the northern reaches, while the Remer Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the heavily forested and lake-strewn terrain to the south. This era of land use is visible in the development of recreation, with Public Access points and the Mabel Lake Campground established to serve visitors to Mabel Lake. The map preserves the exact placement of local landmarks like the Cem near the northern shore and a Gravel Pit along the roadway. Between the sprawling Swift Lake and the irregular basin of Inguadona Lake, the terrain is a complex network of wetlands and shorelines, including named features like Rogers Point and the multi-lobed Twin 14 Lakes.
