1982 Map of Moen Lake

About this map

The Soo Line tracks cut through this northwoods landscape, connecting the small settlements of Roosevelt and Starks during the early 1980s. This territory is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the prominent chain of Moen Lake, Second Lake, Third Lake, Fourth Lake, and Fifth Lake. Cultural landmarks like the Foursquare Ch, Northland Memorial Park, and a Drive-in Theater are interspersed with the industrial signatures of several Gravel Pits and a Slaughterhouse. Evidence of older transportation routes persists in the form of an Old Railroad Grade north of Webber Creek. Aviation history is noted at the Sowinski Landing Field in the northeast, while the eastern edge shows the transition into the Starks Flowage and Tenderfoot Lake area, reflecting the region's managed water systems and recreational character.
