1964 Map of Gheen

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Kabetogama State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by the dense wetlands and timbered tracts of the Willow Valley and Leiding districts. The settlement of Gheen and its nearby namesake, Gheen Corner, serve as the primary hubs along the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad line, which bisects the quadrangle. A network of hydrological features including the Elbow River with its Elbow Rapids, Rice Lake, and the winding Willow River define the local topography. Historical transport patterns are evident in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits scattered throughout the terrain, suggesting a landscape shaped by both natural waterways and the needs of industrial infrastructure. Local landmarks like the Lookout Tower and Willow Valley Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists and regional historians studying the settlement patterns of St. Louis County in the mid-1960s.
