1954 Map of Frogner

About this map

Wrenshall and the borderlands of Carlton and Douglas counties are defined by a complex network of transportation and protected timberlands during the mid-1950s. The landscape transitions from the rugged north, home to Jay Cooke State Park and active Gravel Pits, toward the winding corridor of the Nemadji River and the Nemadji State Forest in the south. Several major rail lines converge here, including the Great Northern and the St Paul Minneapolis and Sault Ste Marie, intersecting near the small settlement of Frogner. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks such as Maccabee Cem and the Foxboro Sch in Foxboro, while an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the western sections suggests an evolving industrial footprint. The terrain is marked by numerous waterways like Mud Creek and Rock Creek, which drain into the deeply incised river valleys that cross the state line.
