About this map

Floodwood sits at a strategic river confluence in St. Louis County, where the Floodwood River and Savanna River meet the St Louis River. This early 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by the Great Northern railroad, which cuts a straight path southeast through the terrain. The community is well-established, featuring the Floodwood Cem and Roadside Park near the town center, while the Floodwood Landing Strip to the west indicates the era's regional aviation needs.

Beyond the central settlement, the map traces the rural character of Halden and Van Buren townships. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in numerous Gravel Pit locations and the engineered drainage of Judicial Ditch No 3, which cuts through the low-lying Swamp lands. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant landmarks including the Halden Community Center, Forest Hill Cem, and Hope Cem.
