1933 Map of Luther SE

About this map

The Pine River and Little Pine River dominate this 1930s landscape, winding through the timberlands of Dover and Burdell townships. The map, compiled from early aerial photography by the Air Corps, reveals a rural network of country schools including Wedell Sch, Burdell Dist Sch No 4, and Keats Sch, serving the scattered farmsteads of the era. The small settlement of Bristol sits near the Dover Cem, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by Howes Lake and the track of State Highway No 63. Small water bodies like Asplunds Lake and Bulls Pond dot the terrain, which is fed by numerous tributaries such as Dyers Creek and Coe Creek. This survey captures the region just as modern automotive routes began to stabilize the local geography.
