1952 Map of Riley

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Riley and its surrounding wetlands occupy a landscape defined by the iron country's industrial infrastructure and forest management in northern Minnesota. The Burlington Northern line cuts across the northern terrain, passing through the small settlement where a Town Hall and Maple Hill Sch served the local community. Significant portions of the quadrangle are dedicated to conservation, notably within the Floodwood Memorial Forest and across the Stuntz Forest Boundary. Hydrological features like the Swan River and the connected waters of Harriett Lake and Little Harriett Lake dominate the central and southern sections, punctuated by a former Railroad Grade. This mapping reflects a mid-century period of land use where resource extraction, indicated by various Gravel Pits, coexisted with expansive state forest preserves and isolated rural outposts.
