About this map

Low-lying marshlands and river bottomlands define this northern Minnesota landscape where the West Branch Floodwood River meets the main Floodwood River. The small settlement of Wawina is situated at the intersection of the Burlington Northern railroad and the county lines, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships. The map illustrates a community shaped by its hydrology, with significant portions of the south dedicated to the Savanna State Forest.

Local civic life is anchored by several distinct landmarks, including the Community Hall and Town Hall, alongside religious and memorial sites such as the Apostolic Ch, Wawina Ch, and Cedar Valley Cem. The infrastructure of the late 1960s is evidenced by a prominent Pipeline cutting through the terrain, reflecting the industrial transportation needs of the region during this period of planetary survey.
