1967 Map of Warroad

About this map

Warroad sits at the confluence of the Warroad River and the expansive Muskeg Bay of Lake of the Woods, serving as a critical international junction in the late 1960s. The town's significance as a border crossing is noted by the presence of the U S Customhouse near the international boundary where Manitoba and Minnesota meet. Local transportation and industry are defined by the convergence of the Canadian National and Great Northern railroads, with an Old RR Grade hinting at earlier rail alignments. Genealogists will find notable burial sites including Riverside Cem and St Marys Cem. Farther south, the rural character of Moranville and Cedarbend is balanced by the infrastructure of the Warroad Airfield and a Gaging Station on the river, showing a landscape managed for both trade and transit.
