About this map

The Clearwater River and Mississippi River systems anchor this north-central Minnesota landscape, which was primarily defined by timber and rail transport during the early 20th century. The settlement of Solway and the nearby siding of Scribner sit along the Great Northern Railway corridor, while the Minneapolis St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway cuts through the western sections near Pinewood. Notable for its vast wetlands and numerous lakes like Buzzle Lake and White Fish L., the map also identifies the Indian Reservation Boundary cutting across the central township. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Bagley Dam on the Clearwater, along with several rural schools and churches that served the timbered townships of Buzzle, Lammers, and Eckles.
