1969 Map of Fosston SE

About this map

The Red Lake Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the northeastern corner of this 1960s landscape, where the Lost River meanders through the wetlands of northwestern Minnesota. The area is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring the National Wildlife Management Area and the waters of Cross Lake, Hill River, and the Clearwater River. Rural life is anchored by small country congregations and their associated burial grounds, including Cross Lake Ch, St Peter Cem, and Oakland Cem. The southern reach of the map shows the industrial and transport corridor of the Burlington Northern railroad, which runs parallel to a series of Gravel Pits. This survey provides a precise record of the townships of Queen, Columbia, and Popple before modern development altered these rural corridors.
