Mallard, Minnesota

Mallard is an abandoned townsite in sections 5 and 8 of Itasca Township in Clearwater County, Minnesota, United States.

The Red River Logging Company built the Walker Akeley rail spur which included Mallard in 1901.

The town contained a post office, bank, druggist, dentist, butcher shop, merchandise stores, restaurant, barber, two hotels, livery stables, and several saloons.

After logging ended around 1911 the railroad tracks were pulled up and Mallard began its decline.
