1981 Map of Kerrick

About this map

The Burlington Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for this northern Pine County landscape, connecting the small settlements of Kerrick and Duquette. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies, including L Margaret, Hicks L, and Walthausen Lake, which drain through the Willow River and its various tributaries. This 1980s-era survey reveals the geographic relationship between these remote communities and the protected expanse of the Nemadji State Forest. Cultural sites for genealogical research include St Michaels Cem, while economic activity is indicated by several Gravel Pits and a Landing Field near the river. Large-scale drainage and industrial footprints, such as the Industrial Waste Ponds to the south, contrast with the natural timberlands that dominate the township boundaries.
