1962 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

Nemadji State Forest and the St Croix State Forest dominate this mid-century landscape in eastern Pine County. The settlement patterns of the early 1960s are visible through small rural centers like Cloverdale and Duxbury, alongside established community landmarks such as Danforth Sch and the Sand Creek Chapel. Transport and industry are marked by the Great Northern railroad corridor in the northwest, which provided a vital link through the townships of Norman and Partridge. The map reveals a complex network of wetlands and water bodies, including Tamarack Lake and the marshy expanses of Thunder Meadows. Local landmarks such as the Eaglehead Lookout Tower and Askov Lookout Tower indicate the importance of forest fire monitoring during this era, while scattered cemeteries like Danforth Cem and Clover Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research in this heavily forested region of Minnesota.
