About this map

Bogus Brook and the winding Rum River dominate this late 1960s landscape in Mille Lacs County, where agricultural drainage and riverine wetlands define the geography. The map shows an extensive network of water management features, including Judicial Ditch No 2, Judicial Ditch No 3, and Judicial Ditch No 4, which were critical for local farming in the Borgholm and Bogus Brook townships.

Settlement patterns are anchored by the community of Woodward Brook and several institutional landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Wendell Hill Cem, Pilgrims Rest Cem, and Zion Ch near the Princeton township line. The presence of the Great Northern railroad in the southwest corner and the isolated School No 1172 in the northeast reflect the region's rural development and historical infrastructure during this era of Minnesota's history.
