1961 Map of Radium

About this map

Radium serves as the primary settlement hub in this northwestern Minnesota landscape, positioned where the Soo Line railroad cuts across the prairie. The map captures a moment in the early 1960s when the rural social fabric was anchored by the Immanuel Ch and Immanuel Cem in the north and a Townhall farther south. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Snake River and its South Branch Snake River, which meander through the townships of Comstock and Helgeland. This survey illustrates the precise section lines and field boundaries characteristic of the Red River Valley's agricultural development, punctuated only by occasional industrial features like a Gravel Pit. The convergence of Marshall Co and Polk Co lines, along with the Polk and Pennington Co borders, highlights the area's administrative complexity.
