About this map

Mille Lacs Lake and the southwestern shoreline of Wigwam Bay dominate this late 1960s survey of the northern Minnesota lake country. The settlement of Vineland serves as a focal point along the shore, featuring the Vineland Sch, Lakewood Cem, and religious landmarks such as Alliance Mission and Little Flower Mission. This area preserves a transition from the open waters of the big lake to a dense network of smaller basins including Whitefish Lake and Ogechie Lake, which is connected to the Rum River.

The landscape is heavily marked by conservation and glacial geography, encompassing the Mille Lacs Kathio State Park and the Whitefish Lake State Wildlife Management Area. The map reveals a complex aquatic environment where named features like Shah-bush-kung Point and Shah-bush-kung Bay indicate the specific local nomenclature of the shoreline. Small industrial traces such as a Gravel Pit near Whitefish Lake contrast with the largely natural state of the surrounding woods.
