About this map

The Mississippi River and Pine River converge in a complex wetland landscape of the Crow Wing State Forest, where the iron-rich geology of the Cuyuna Range begins to influence the terrain. This 1959 survey, published in cooperation with the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission, highlights the transition from recreation and timber to industrial mining. The settlement of Trommald sits at the southern edge, defined by adjacent operations such as the Maroco Mine and Musser Mine.

Further north, the community of Mission serves as a focal point near the interconnected waters of Upper Mission Lake, Center Mission Lake, and Lower Mission Lake. Local institutions like the Mission Cem and the Silver Lake Sch are clearly marked, providing essential landmarks for genealogists and researchers tracing the mid-century development of Crow Wing County before modern landscape alterations.
