1953 Map of Brookston NW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The St Louis River defines the southern boundary of this St. Louis County landscape, where the Great Northern railroad tracks parallel the water's edge. Much of the southern terrain is occupied by the Fond Du Lac Indian Reservation, while the surrounding townships of Ness, Alborn, Arrowhead, and Culver contain a dense network of wetlands and small lakes. The map reveals early infrastructure like a Town Hall in the northwest and a Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet, indicating local resource extraction. Extensive water systems including Aerie Lake, Spider Lake, and Muskrat Lake dominate the central topography, connected by the winding path of Spider Creek. This survey captures the mid-century intersection of indigenous lands, industrial rail transport, and the natural drainage patterns of northern Minnesota.
