1950 Map of Columbus
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Canada United States international boundary defines the northern edge of this Burke County landscape, where the prairie was once busy with coal extraction and rail transport. A prominent Strip Mine and the Coalfield district underscore the region's industrial foundations during the late 1940s. The settlement of Columbus serves as a primary hub, supported by smaller locales like Larson and Kincaid. The transportation network is anchored by the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads, which facilitated the movement of resources through stops such as Strange Siding.
