1963 Map of Gowan

About this map

St Louis River bends across the northern section of this landscape, anchoring the small settlements of Gowan and Paupores. The Great Northern railroad tracks parallel the river's path, reflecting the era's reliance on rail for transporting timber and materials from the surrounding woods. Much of the terrain is defined by the wetlands and timber of the Fond Du Lac State Forest and areas marked Floodwood and Fine Lakes.
