1973 Map of Waskish NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the southern half of this orthophotomap, its northern shoreline defined by an indefinite boundary that separates the open water from the marshy lowlands of Beltrami County. This 1970s record shows the northern fringe of the Red Lake Indian Reservation meeting the expansive Red Lake Wildlife Management Area. The landscape is a complex pattern of wetlands and forest, navigated primarily by Blanchard Road which skirts the lake's edge. Human activity in this remote region is marked by a specialized Rice Field and a small Gravel Pit, indicating the seasonal and resource-based economy of the shoreline. The transition from the massive water body to the protected wildlife zones provides a clear view of the natural management boundaries in Northern Minnesota during the early 1970s.
