1950 Map of Portal
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this survey, where the international gateway of Portal serves as a critical junction for the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad. The landscape south of the border is a mosaic of prairie townships like Ross, Fay, and Vale, heavily influenced by early coal extraction and agricultural settlement. The presence of a Pit Mine and several Strip Mines near Lignite points to the area's industrial roots, while numerous rural schoolhouses such as Lincoln Sch and Scandia Sch underscore the density of the homesteading community during this era.
