1943 Map of Lindford

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Big Fork River snakes through this Northwoods landscape, serving as a primary corridor for early settlement in Koochiching County. This survey represents a transitional moment where early 20th-century field data was repurposed for World War II-era military oversight, showing a vast network of drainage ditches alongside the meandering currents of the Black River and Bear River. The small settlement of Lindford is positioned at a key river bend near a Rd. Xing, while to the northwest, Bannock is marked by its community Church. Surveyed before modern development, the map preserves the exact locations of township divisions like Gowdy and Grand Falls, and the survey lines of the 14th. Standard Parallel North and 3rd. Guide Meridian. These precise navigational markers illustrate the systematic effort to define the Minnesota wilderness for timber and agricultural drainage.
