1914 Map of Deerwood

About this map

The iron-rich landscapes of the Cuyuna Range define this 1912 survey, where the burgeoning industrial hubs of Crosby and Ironton sit at the western edge of Serpent Lake. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century settlements and social infrastructure, including more than twenty rural schoolhouses such as Knutson School and Eadon School, alongside small community centers like Bennettville and Garrison. The Northern Pacific railroad provides the primary transportation artery, connecting the mining towns to the broader region.
