1964 Map of Meadow Brook

About this map

The Little Fork River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape, punctuated by Hannine Falls and localized Rapids. This 1964 survey reveals a region largely defined by its protected woodlands, with the Sturgeon River State Forest and the Superior National Forest covering much of the terrain. The small settlement at Meadow Brook serves as a focal point near the eponymous creek, while the Sturgeon River Chapel provides a key landmark for genealogists tracing local families in the Sturgeon and Morcom townships. The map documents the presence of the Sturgeon River as it winds through the central and southern sections, joined by tributaries such as Sand Creek and Gilmore Creek. Evidence of local industry is limited to a few scattered Gravel Pits, reflecting a quiet, timber-and-water-based economy during the mid-1960s.
