1952 Map of Little Swan

About this map

Swan River and its various branches, including the West Swan River and East Swan River, dominate this mid-century landscape in St. Louis County. The area is characterized by the expansive wetlands and timber of the Floodwood Memorial Forest, where the small settlement of Little Swan is situated near the Little Swan Dam. The geographic layout reveals a remote region transitioning from a wilderness economy to one connected by rail, evidenced by the Great Northern tracks cutting diagonally across the terrain toward the settlement of Onega.
