1972 Map of Two Inlets

About this map

Two Inlets State Forest dominates this orthophotomap, showing the dense glacial landscape on the border of Becker and Hubbard Counties. This 1972 survey combines aerial photography with topographic contour lines, revealing the intricate water systems that define the region. Large water bodies like Two Inlets Lake and Little Mantrap Lake are connected by Two Inlets Creek, while smaller, uniquely named features such as Hungry Man Lakes, Dinner Lake, and Hemphill Lake are scattered throughout the wooded terrain. Human activity is evidenced by the tiny settlement of Goldenrod, a local Townhall, and the Evergreen Cemetery. The map also traces a Pipeline cutting through the forest and notes recreation sites including a Campground and Public Access points for boaters. This specific edition provides an unfiltered look at the timber and lake country before significant modern development, preserving the footprint of the mid-century northern Minnesota wilderness.
