1970 Map of Warba
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Warba serves as the primary hub for this Itasca County landscape, situated near the intersection of the Burlington Northern railroad and the Swan River. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial wetlands and water bodies, including Rice Lake, Sand Lake, and Shallow Lake, which dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. Transport and infrastructure are central themes of the era, marked by prominent pipelines cutting across the Blackberry and Feeley townships and a pair of private airfields: Flying K Ranch Landing Strip and Buds Ranch Landing Strip. Local history is anchored by the Townhall and Trout Lake Ch in the north, while the Feeley Cem and Trout Lake Cem provide valuable records for genealogical research. The map captures a moment when the rail-and-river economy still shaped the small settlements of Philbin and Swan.
