About this map

The confluence of the Floodwood River and the St Louis River anchors this 1963 survey of the St. Louis County landscape. The village of Floodwood serves as the primary hub, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor meets the river system. This area reflects a mid-century balance of active infrastructure and wetlands, including the expansive Toivola Swamp to the northeast and a network of drainage projects like the Savanna Judicial Ditch and East Judicial Ditch.

Family historians will find several burial grounds across the three townships, including Forest Hill Cem, Floodwood Cem, and Hope Cem. Beyond the main village, the Halden Community Center stands as a focal point for the surrounding rural population. The presence of the Floodwood Landing Strip and numerous gravel pits suggests the local industrial and logistical activity of the early 1960s, while Roadside Park offers a glimpse into early recreational planning along the highway corridor.
