1971 Map of Swatara

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Swatara serves as the primary focal point of this Aitkin County survey, situated where the Soo Line corridor cuts through the northern Minnesota landscape. This era reflects a transition where rail infrastructure and small-scale resource extraction, indicated by several Gravel Pits, intersected with the extensive public lands of the Hill Lake State Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and meandering waterways, including the Willow River and Moose River, which drain the township of Macville. Local genealogy and land-use history are well-represented by named features such as Bible Lake, Kangas Lake, and McKinney Lake, illustrating the pattern of settlement and recreational use in the region during the early 1970s.
