About this map

The Snake River meanders through the heart of this Kanabec County landscape, carving its way through the Snake River State Forest and the bordering townships of Ford, Kroschel, and Pomroy. This 1960s survey documents a region defined by its conservation areas, including the Bean Dam State Wildlife Management Area and the Hay-Snake State Wildlife Management Area. These protected zones reflect a late mid-century focus on preserving the North Woods' wetlands and river corridors.

Scattered across the map are notable water bodies like Pomroy Lake, McMullen Lake, and the descriptively named Lake Full of Fish. Human activity is concentrated along section lines and around a few landmarks, most notably the Pomroy Union Chapel. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and drainage features like County Ditch No 10 indicates a working landscape where early infrastructure was managed alongside the natural river systems of the Snowshoe Brook and South Branch Grindstone River.
