1969 Map of La Prairie
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The Mississippi River meanders through the heart of this landscape, forming complex oxbows and channels south of the junction at Gunn. The region’s economic and social infrastructure is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad lines that serve the settlements of La Prairie and Blackberry. This area in Itasca County reveals a transition between agricultural experimentation at the Univ of Minn Experiment Sta and the timber resources of the Golden Anniversary State Forest. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including Harris Cem, Blackberry Cem, and Calvary Cemetery, which anchor the local townships. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Pokegama Reservoir and its Wendigo Arm, while the northeast is characterized by a dense chain of water bodies including Trout Lake, Mud Lake, and Clearwater Lake.
