About this map

Clearbrook serves as the central hub of this Clearwater County landscape, where the Soo Line railroad bisects the terrain diagonally. The map reveals a community deeply connected to its land and heritage, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Elim Cem, Augustana Cem, and Silver Creek Cem. This 1960s environment is defined by its glacial hydrology, with family-named water bodies like Lindberg Lake, Steenerson Lake, and Taflin Lake punctuating the wetlands.

Industrial and conservation efforts coexist here, with a significant Pipeline network and multiple pumping stations situated near the town, while the southern reaches are protected by the Little Pine State Wildlife Management Area. The northeastern corner transitions into the Red Lake Indian Reservation, marking a distinct jurisdictional boundary amid the scattered farms and Gravel pits that support the local rural economy.
