1968 Map of Warman

About this map

Warman sits at the heart of this central Minnesota landscape, where the local economy and land use are shaped by both its natural hydrology and extractive industry. In the late 1960s, the terrain was defined by significant water systems, including the Snake River and Knife River, alongside smaller features like Bean Brook and Snowshoe Lake. The mapping reveals a clear industrial presence with several Quarries and a Gravel Pit located near the settlement, suggesting the importance of stone and aggregate production to the area's development. Large tracts of land are dedicated to conservation, most notably the Hay-Snake State Wildlife Management Area in the northeast. This 1968 survey details a rural township structure including the divisions of Ford, Peace, Hillman, and Hay Brook, reflecting the organized civic layout of Kanabec County at the time.
