1951 Map of Kirk

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Duluth Missabe and Iron Range and Great Northern railroad lines dominate this Mesabi Range landscape, illustrating the industrial pulse of the early 1950s. The convergence of these heavy rail corridors highlights the region's historical role in ore transport, while smaller settlements like Cherry, Kirk, and Buhl provide a glimpse into the local community structure of the era. To the south, the map transitions into a more rural and boggy terrain, characterized by the winding paths of West Two River and East Two River. Local landmarks such as School No 96, Bethel Ch, and the Bethel Cem serve as vital markers for genealogists and local historians tracking the families who lived near the mines and forests. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered throughout the territory suggest active construction and resource extraction in the townships of Cherry, Clinton, and Great Scott.
