About this map

The South Branch Two Rivers meanders across the northern edge of this Roseau County landscape, paralleling the Great Northern railroad line. This 1962 survey reveals a rural Minnesota environment defined by township boundaries such as Barnett, Skagen, and Stokes. The distribution of farmsteads and field lines is meticulously documented, with many structures connected by a network of light-duty and unimproved roads.

Local social and community centers are clearly marked, providing valuable data for genealogists. The presence of the Townhall and religious sites like Zion Ch and its accompanying Zion Ch Cem suggest the hubs of civic and spiritual life during the early 1960s. To the north, the Barnett Cem sits near section lines, while a Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale industrial activity in an otherwise agricultural region.
