1969 Map of Ericsburg SE

About this map

Beaver Brook and Ester Brook wind through this Koochiching County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by seasonal drainage and northern wetlands. This 1969 survey, photorevised in the 1980s, reveals a specialized infrastructure designed for the cold climate, most notably the extensive network of the Winter Trail. These paths were critical for movement through the low-lying areas when the ground was frozen, providing access to remote timber or mineral resources that would otherwise be inaccessible during warmer months.
