This is a state of Minnesota map prepared by Stafford King, State Auditor, St. Paul, Minnesota. The map shows state parks (22) and Monuments (8) as well as state forests. We assume that Oberholtzer has hand-colored the Superior National Forest with green crayon including a portion south to nearly Beaver Bay and portions near Vermillion Lake and including State Forests and Burntside Forests. A hand-drawn orange boundary line is undefined. On the reverse side of the map we find MN town and city population figures from 1930 census reports. Minneapolis = 464,356 and Rochester, MN = 20,621.
