About this map

The settlement of Foxboro anchors the northern edge of this boundary landscape where the dense forests of Douglas County meet the Minnesota state line. This survey details a transition from small northern communities to the expansive wetlands and timberlands of the Harlis State Forest Rd area. The presence of Harlis in the south, coupled with the Summit Cem near Summit Lake, provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this border region.

An intricate network of recreational and logging paths dominates the terrain, including the Gandy Dancer State Trl and the Matthew Lourey State Trl. These routes, along with the Washington/Ramsey Trl and Straight Arrows Trl, follow the natural contours between the Net River and Balsam Cr. The map illustrates how local transportation evolved from timber extraction routes into a modern trail system, while preserving the original locations of rural cemeteries and creek crossings like those on the Black River.
