1956 Map of Karlstad
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad cuts a diagonal path through this corner of Kittson and Marshall Counties, anchoring the small prairie communities of Halma and Karlstad. This 1950s survey documents a landscape of structured townships like Jupiter and Spring Brook, where the rural social fabric is visible through landmarks such as Bepson Sch and several country churches, including East Emmaus Ch and Hegland Ch. To the north, the South Branch Two Rivers feeds into Lake Bronson, the centerpiece of Lake Bronson State Park. The terrain shifts from organized farmland to the wetlands of Twistal Swamp in the east, while the Tamarac River meanders through the southern townships. Local history is preserved in the location of several family and community burial grounds, such as Lundeby Cem and Eidsvold Cem.
