1982 Map of Denham

About this map

Denham and the southern edge of Sturgeon Lake anchor this 1982 survey of Pine County, Minnesota. The landscape is defined by the water networks of the Kettle River and Birch Creek, alongside numerous smaller water bodies such as Fox Lake, Mud Lake, and Cemetery Lake. Transportation history is visible in the alignment of the Soo Line and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the forested terrain. This era shows a community centered on its local history, with three distinct burial grounds—Denham Cem, Lakeview Cem, and Faith Cem—placed near the small settlements of Denham and Rutledge. The presence of the Mark State Wildlife Management Area in the east suggests a transition toward conservation and managed natural space, while scattered Gravel Pits and a Sandpit indicate local industry during this period.
