1954 Map of Foxboro

About this map

The Minnesota and Wisconsin state line bisects this 1954 landscape, where the town of Foxboro sits as a primary rail junction in the northern reaches. The area is defined by a dense network of transit history, including the Great Northern and the Sault Ste Marie and South Shore railroads. Further south, the settlement of Harlis anchors a more remote territory near the Carlton and Pine County boundary. Much of the western terrain is occupied by the Nemadji State Forest, a region of wetlands and winding waterways like the Net River and Little Net River. An Old Railroad Grade and several Gravel Pits suggest the industrial activity supporting local infrastructure. The presence of Summit Cem near the eastern border provides a significant landmark for those tracing family history in this borderland between Douglas and Carlton counties.
