1959 Map of Trommald

About this map

The Mississippi River and Pine River converge in this mid-century survey of Crow Wing County, a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The settlement of Mission serves as a focal point near the northern shores of Upper Mission Lake, while the Mission Cem remains a significant landmark for those tracing local lineages. The southern portion of the map reveals the region's industrial character through the presence of the Musser Mine and Mangan Mine near the town of Trommald. This area, heavily influenced by the mining industry of the Cuyuna Range, also features the label Manganese, indicating the specific mineral extraction that drove the local economy. From the Silver Lake Sch in the southwest to the winding path of Pelican Brook, the map provides a comprehensive view of how water, timber, and ore shaped the settlement patterns within the Crow Wing State Forest.
