1958 Map of Harlow

About this map

Harlow serves as the primary rail hub for this section of Benson County, situated along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie line. The landscape is defined by the shallow, prairie-pothole hydrology characteristic of the region, featuring Twin Lakes, Mud Lake, and Sheep Lake. To the south, the terrain levels out into the broad Butte Valley, while the northeast is marked by the distinctive elevation of The Buttes. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as St Petri Ch and Our Saviors Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. Several gravel operations, including various Gravel Pits near the high ground, point to the localized extraction industry supporting the township’s infrastructure and road network during the late 1950s.
