1968 Map of Wannaska SW

About this map

Golden Valley and Linsell define this late-1960s landscape, where the flat, marshy terrain of northwestern Minnesota is punctuated by isolated farmsteads and rural landmarks. The drainage of the South Fork Roseau River and the Moose River dominates the hydrology, reflecting the complex water management required in this low-lying region. Small centers of community life are preserved here, notably Casperson with its Townhall and the settlement of Torfin to the northwest. For those tracing family ties to the area, the map records Bethlehem Ch and the Golden Valley Cem, providing specific locations for local genealogy. This survey also shows the northern reaches of the Red Lake Indian Reservation, illustrating the intersection of tribal lands and county boundaries between Roseau and Marshall Counties.
