1984 Map of Pennington

About this map

Pennington sits at the eastern edge of this landscape where the Soo Line railroad cuts a straight path through the wooded terrain of Price County. The area is defined by its complex hydrology and managed conservation lands, notably the State Wildlife Area and the Spring Creek Flowage. The Jump River and its North Fork Cranberry Creek tributary wind through a mosaic of wetlands and timbered sections, reflecting a rural economy tied to the land and the rails. Local navigation is marked by distinctive corridor names like Moonshine Alley and Aspen Road, while the Fourth Principal Meridian serves as a critical surveying benchmark for the region. Small-scale industry is present through scattered Gravel Pits, and recreational access is noted at Wayside Park and various Public Access points along the lakes and riverbanks.
