1971 Map of Wildwood NE

About this map

The Big Fork River meanders sharply through a densely wooded landscape in this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1969 aerial photography to reveal the northern Minnesota wilderness. Much of the terrain is defined by the Pine Island State Forest and Big Fork State Forest, showing a network of logging and access routes rather than traditional towns. The presence of the Pine Island Lookout Tower in the southwest and an Old Road Grade suggests a history of timber management and forest fire surveillance.
