1969 Map of Thor SW

About this map

Malmo, Lakeside, and Seavey townships define this section of Aitkin County, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies. The landscape is primarily defined by the drainage patterns of Borden Creek and Peterson Creek, which wind through the low-lying terrain. Several small family and community burial grounds, including Malmo Cem, Lakeside Cem, and Ostlund Cem, are scattered across the higher ground, providing valuable location data for genealogists and local historians. The presence of a local Townhall and multiple Gravel Pits suggests a rural economy tied to small-scale industry and local administration during the late 1960s. The map illustrates the sparse settlement patterns typical of this region of Minnesota, where roads often follow section lines to navigate the surrounding marshes.
