1982 Map of Alden
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Alden sits as the central hub of this Southern Minnesota landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the town near Morin Lake. The surrounding prairie is defined by its water and conservation efforts, including the broad Freeborn Lake to the north and Pickerel Lake to the southeast. Local history is etched into the township grids of Carlston and Manchester, featuring the Carlston Cem and a smaller Cem near the village. Transportation shifts are visible through the presence of an Old Railroad Grade north of town, reflecting a changing rail economy. Recreational and natural spaces are prominent, from the Arrowhead Point County Park on the shores of Freeborn Lake to the Halls Lake State Wildlife Area, indicating a region that balances agricultural use with environmental preservation.
