1919 Map of Badger
USGS Topo · Published 1924About this map
The International Boundary between the United States and Canada defines the northern edge of this northern Minnesota landscape. In the years following the Great War, this region was undergoing a massive hydrological transformation, evidenced by the extensive network of drainage channels like State Ditch No 69 and numerous laterals, such as Lateral No. 1, designed to reclaim the vast Roseau Swamp for agriculture. The Great Northern railway cuts through the southeast, serving the town of Badger and providing a vital link for the scattered farmsteads of Skagen and Soler. A notable cluster of local infrastructure, including School Duxby and several rural churches and cemeteries, highlights the early 20th-century settlement patterns of Roseau County. The map also records specialized transit points like Farm Xing and the rail Station at Badger.
