About this map

Tulaby Lake and the surrounding glacial landscape are the central focus of this late 1960s survey within the White Earth Indian Reservation. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, where larger bodies like Bass Lake and Elbow Lake are interspersed with smaller waters such as Sawmill Lake and Stump Lake. Human settlement is concentrated at Elbow Lake Village, while local spiritual and community life is anchored by St Frances Cabrini Ch and Calvary Ch.

The map reveals a landscape managed for both timber and wildlife, evidenced by the La Prairie State Forest and the Clearwater State Wildlife Management Area. Notable elevations include Strawberry Mountain and the Height of Land Lookout Tower, which provide vantage points over the dense forest and marshland. Transport through this wetland-rich terrain is limited to routes like the Solid Bottom Road, which skirts the edge of the Maple Grove region.
