About this map

Gonvick serves as the primary rail hub on this landscape, situated along the Soo Line tracks near the Lost River. The map highlights a transition from the agricultural lands of Eden and Queen townships to the heavily lacustrine environment of the east. This area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Pine Lake and Little Pine Lake, much of which is conserved within the Clearwater State Wildlife Management Area and the Little Pine State Wildlife Management Area.

Social and historical markers are concentrated around small settlements and crossroads, such as Weme in Eddy township. Genealogists can locate several local landmarks, including Bethlehem Ch, Oak Park Ch, and the Township Cem. The southwestern portion of the map is marked by the Red Lake Indian Reservation Boundary, while industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections.
