Brainerd sits as a vital rail and river hub during the early twentieth century, where the Mississippi River meets the steel rails of the Northern Pacific and Minnesota International railroads. This survey, conducted by F.B. Barrett and J.H. Wilson, reveals a landscape transitioning from wild lakes to a rural community defined by numbered school districts. The township boundaries of Lake Edwards, Oak, and Nokay contain a network of small settlements like Merrifield and Riverton that supported the local economy.
