1969 Map of Leonard

About this map

Leonard sits at the intersection of local rail and water systems in Clearwater County, where the Soo Line railroad cuts through a landscape heavily defined by its glacial hydrology. The map reveals a pattern of rural community centers anchored by religious and memorial sites, such as Seljord Ch and the neighboring East Seljord Cem. Large portions of the terrain are dedicated to conservation, notably the Clearwater State Wildlife Management Area and the Old Red Lake Trail State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the wetlands surrounding the Clearwater River. Local industry is evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and a Pipeline corridor. Distinctive water bodies like West Four Legged Lake and Stenlund Lake dominate the eastern half, while a Lookout Tower serves as a prominent navigational landmark for the region.
