1945 Map of Meteor

About this map

The Blue Hills rise above the forest and wetlands of the Meteor and Murray townships in this mid-century survey. The landscape is a complex network of glacial remnants, characterized by many small bodies of water like Deer Lake and Bucks Lake alongside more expansive waters such as Chetac Lake. The map details a transition in transportation, showing both active rail lines like the North Western and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie, as well as an Old RR Grade already fading into the terrain north of Sucker Creek. Scattered rural schoolhouses, including Valley View Sch and Sentinel Ash Sch, serve the small communities of Edgewater and Yarnell, reflecting a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the era's timber and recreational economy.
