About this map

Hardwood Creek meanders through this portion of Washington County, anchoring a landscape defined by its numerous glacial lakes and the emerging infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The settlement of Hugo sits at the intersection of the Soo Line railroad and local transport routes, while smaller clusters like Weston and Withrow mark the surrounding township. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a specialized social geography, including recreational and community sites such as Campbells Girls Camp, the Veterans Rest Camp, and several trailer parks.

Education and local heritage are centered at the Withrow Sch and the North School Section Lake facility near Plaisted Lake. Genealogists can locate St Johns Cem near the railroad tracks, while the map's detailed hydrology tracks the shoreline of Oneka Lake, Egg Lake, and Halfbreed Lake. The presence of several Gravel Pits suggests the local industry supporting the expansion of roads like 165th Street as the area transitioned from rural township toward suburban development.
