1951 Map of Medford
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Medford serves as the central hub of this 1950s Taylor County landscape, situated where the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad tracks bisect the region. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, characterized by an exceptionally high concentration of country schoolhouses such as Meadowbrook Sch, Thielke Sch, and Spruce Grove Sch. These institutions, alongside township halls and cemeteries like Sacred Heart Cem, highlight the organized civic life of the mid-century dairy and timber country. To the north, the glacial terrain is marked by numerous water bodies including Sackett Lake and Kathryn Lake. Evidence of earlier transport is visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of Medford, suggesting a shifting industrial footprint as local rail lines were retired or rerouted before this survey.
