1915 Map of Cuyuna

About this map

Emily and Manganese serve as the primary anchors for this early twentieth-century landscape, a region defined by an intricate network of waterways and the burgeoning infrastructure of the Iron Range. The Mississippi River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the Northern Pacific and Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads intersect, facilitating the movement of materials through towns like Cuyuna. This era represents a peak for rural education, evidenced by the high density of district schools including School No 98, Mud Brook School, and Kealey School dotted throughout township lands.
