About this map

Warroad serves as a critical northern port and border entry point at the southwestern edge of Lake of the Woods in this late-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the intersection of international logistics and water-dependent industry, featuring the US Customhouse near the Manitoba Minnesota line and the Canadian National railway tracking south from the border. The town itself is situated where the Warroad River meets Muskeg Bay, supporting local landmarks like Lakeview Park and a Gaging Station on the riverbank.

Industrial and community life is evidenced by Gravel Pits to the west and the Warroad Airfield just north of the main settlement. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of St Marys Cem and Riverside Cem, as well as the small northern hamlet of Longworth. This survey documents the area's transition into a modern border community before significant later-century shoreline developments.
