1968 Map of Ramey

About this map

Morrill and Ramey anchor a rural landscape defined by a network of sectional roads and small-town centers in central Minnesota. In the late 1960s, this area on the border of Morrison Co and Benton Co remained deeply tied to its agricultural roots, evidenced by the numerous district schoolhouses like School No 1213 and School No 109 that once served the local farm families. The Elk River winds through the southern portion of the map, carving a path through the townships of Alberta and Granite Ledge. Cultural landmarks such as Bethany Ch and Fairview Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists tracking family lineages in the Lakin and Morrill townships. Small hamlets like Brennyville, North Benton, and Jakeville appear as modest clusters of dwellings, while scattered Gravel Pits suggest the localized extraction of materials for the area's road network.
