About this map

Salol serves as the primary hub in this northern Minnesota landscape, situated along the Great Northern railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and an extensive drainage network, including County Ditch No 7 and County Ditch No 9, which channel water toward Hay Creek and Bear Creek. This engineering reflects the region's transition into productive farmland, managed through the townships of Enstrom and Falun.

Local history is preserved in the presence of several community landmarks, such as Bethel Ch and the Townhall located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find interest in Spruce Cem and Fairview Cem, which anchor the rural sections. Evidence of local industry appears in the scattered resource extraction sites, including a Sandpit and Gravel Pit, which supported the infrastructure of this Roseau County community.
