1970 Map of Hill City

About this map

Hill City serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, situated at the northern tip of Hill Lake where recreational development and industry meet. The town's layout includes a Golf Course and nearby Ski Lifts on the slopes of Quadna Mountain, which is topped by a Lookout Tower and Radio Tower. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of wetlands and waterways within the Hill River State Forest, characterized by numerous pools and flowages such as the Willow River Pool and Moose River Pool. Evidence of past infrastructure is preserved in the form of an Old RR Grade and several Winter Grades cutting through the forest. To the south, the small settlement of Haypoint and the Macville Cem provide touchstones for local family history in a region defined by the winding paths of the Moose River and Willow River.
