About this map

Snake River meanders through Kanabec County, anchoring a landscape shaped by water and the Great Northern rail corridor during the late 1960s. The northern reaches show the expansion of Mora, where a prominent Water Tank stands near the St Marys Cem. Moving south into the townships of Arthur and Brunswick, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and small lakes, including Kent Lake, Pennington Lake, and the larger Fish Lake.

Genealogists can identify key community anchors such as the Brunswick Ch and Riverside Cem near the southern settlement of Brunswick, while rural education is marked by the Monroe Sch. The map also documents the Tosher Creek State Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the conservation of the local environment alongside numerous Gravel Pit operations that reflect the area's mid-century extractive activity.
