1951 Map of Britt

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Big Rice Lake and the winding course of the Rice River dominate this pocket of St. Louis County, where the infrastructure of the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad dictates the local geography. Published in the early 1970s but based on earlier mid-century fieldwork, this survey captures the small community of Britt, including the Britt Post Office and nearby Sandy Cemetery. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and small lakes, such as Wagon Wheel Lake and Jammer Lake, situated within the larger boundaries of the Superior National Forest and Kabetogama State Forest. Evidence of regional administration and resource management is visible through the presence of the Ranger Headquarters and the Town Hall. Notable 1969 aerial revisions highlight shifting road patterns and water levels near New Richmond Lake, reflecting the area's evolving role as a hub for both forestry and quiet lakeside settlement.
