About this map

The Mississippi River snakes through a landscape dominated by complex glacial topography and dozens of water bodies in this 1913 survey. Settlements like Cuyuna and Iron Hub anchor the southern portion of the map, where the industrial presence of the Minneapolis St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie and Northern Pacific railroads indicates the regional importance of the mining and timber trade.

Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of numbered district schools, such as School No 69 and the named Mary Keeler School. The northern terrain, including the township of Emily, is a dense cluster of lakes like Little Pine Lake and Lake Mary, illustrating the early character of Crow Wing County before modern development. Genealogists can trace property proximities to landmarks like Pine Knoll or the Mud Brook School located near the marshy headwaters of local streams.
