1967 Map of Adrian SW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Minnesota-Iowa state line defines the southern edge of this 1967 survey, where Nobles County meets Lyon County. The landscape is a testament to the agricultural grid of the Upper Midwest, organized into the townships of Westside, Olney, Grand Prairie, and Little Rock. Waterways such as Kanaranzi Creek and Norwegian Creek meander across the terrain, providing natural breaks in the geometric section lines. In the southwestern corner, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across the landscape, marking a vital transportation artery for the region's rural economy. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction efforts within this predominantly farming territory, while the map's fine-line detailing captures the precise placement of farmsteads and field boundaries as they stood in the late 1960s.
