1953 Map of Brookston NW

About this map

The St. Louis River defines the southern boundary of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Fond Du Lac Indian Reservation meets the townships of Ness, Alborn, Arrowhead, and Culver. This early 1950s survey shows a region dominated by intricate water systems and wetlands, characterized by Spider Creek and a cluster of inland bodies including Aerie Lake, Round Lake, and Muskrat Lake. The Great Northern railroad tracks parallel the river in the south, providing the primary industrial artery for the area. Local civic life is marked by the central Town Hall, while a Gravel Pit near Spider Lake indicates the small-scale resource extraction typical of the rural St. Louis County interior during this era.
