1970 Map of Ball Bluff

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a serpentine corridor through the center of this Aitkin County survey, carving deep oxbows and meanders through the wetlands of the Savanna State Forest. In the northeast, the settlement of Jacobson serves as a small population center near the river's edge, while the namesake Ball Bluff landmark rises as a distinct topographical feature to the south. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, with numerous basins like Ball Bluff Lake, Blackface Lake, and Little Red Horse Lake dotting the landscape. A Senior Citizens Day Center and Ball Bluff Park provide localized community landmarks within the forest's boundaries, while a Gravel Pit indicates small-scale resource extraction from the glacial soils. The intricate patterns of the river's path, including Pokegama Creek, reflect a landscape that remains largely defined by its natural watercourses and timber land in the early 1970s.
