1948 Map of Stone Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Glacial lakes and rural schoolhouses define the landscape of northern Washburn and Sawyer Counties shortly after World War II. The village of Stone Lake serves as a hub for the surrounding waters, positioned near the Evergreen Cemetery and Little Sand Lake. Transport is dominated by three major rail lines, including the Chicago and North Western and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie, which facilitate the local timber and agricultural economy. Scattered throughout the townships are essential rural landmarks such as Mackay Valley School and the Potato Lake Fire Tower, while commercial activity is represented by a Cranberry Bog near Spring Brook. The map details a period of transition as improved roads like Highway No 63 begin to supplant the older rail corridors for regional travel.
