1969 Map of Ericsburg SE

About this map

Beaver Brook winds through this northern Koochiching County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by water and seasonal access. During the late 1960s, this area relied heavily on a network of Winter Trails, indicating a remote region where heavy transport or travel was likely restricted to the frozen months. A handful of Gravel Pits are scattered across the sheet, suggesting localized industry or road maintenance in this timber-rich environment. Occasional water sources like a Flowing Well and a Spring appear alongside Ester Brook, serving as critical landmarks in a territory otherwise dominated by marshes and woods. The mapping of fence and field lines via aerial photography reveals the subtle imprint of human activity on a landscape that remains largely undeveloped.
