1957 Map of Pelan

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Pelan sits at a crossroads in Northwestern Minnesota, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships in the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by the transition from the marshy lowlands of Twistal Swamp and Twin Lakes to the more structured township grids of Arveson and Lincoln. Life in this period was anchored by local institutions, including the Zion Ch and Bethlehem Ch, alongside several local town halls. The South Branch Two Rivers winds through the northern sections, while the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad cuts a sharp diagonal through the southwest, illustrating the transport infrastructure that supported the region's agricultural and gravel-mining activities.
