1947 Map of Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Columbus and Larson anchor the landscape of northern Burke County, sitting just south of the international boundary between the United States and Canada. This 1940s topography, later updated through photo-inspection in 1971, reveals a prairie region defined by its rail connections and township divisions. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads, which facilitated the movement of grain and goods across the plains.
