1914 Map of Pelican Rapids

About this map

Pelican Rapids serves as the primary hub in this early 20th-century landscape of lakes and prairie townships. The Northern Pacific railroad tracks provide the central artery through the region, connecting the rural communities of Scambler and Pelican. The map reveals a dense network of country education, marked by a high concentration of schoolhouses like Grove Lake School and Rollag School, reflecting the era's decentralized settlement patterns. Long before the modern development of these shorelines, features like Dunns Resort and Oak Lodge indicate the early roots of the local recreation economy.
