1954 Map of Atkinson

About this map

Atkinson serves as a focal point for this rural northern landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts a diagonal line through the townships of Mahtowa and Blackhoof. The area is defined by a dense network of small glacial lakes, including Blackhoof Lake, Sandy Lake, and Munson Lake, which drain through the Blackhoof River and Moose River. The map reveals a community structured around its spiritual and educational centers, from Pentecost Ch in the north to Zion Ch and the Central School near the southern boundary.
