1954 Map of Roseau

About this map

Lake of the Woods dominates the northern landscape of this survey, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada follows the winding course of the Rainy River. The region transitions from the expansive waters of Big Traverse Bay and isolated points like Elm Point and Oak Point into the dense muskeg and wetlands of the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge. Transportation in the mid-1950s was anchored by the Great Northern and Canadian National railroads, which connected timber and agricultural hubs such as Roseau, Warroad, and Baudette.
