1968 Map of Artichoke Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Artichoke Lake and Long Lake dominate this prairie landscape in Big Stone County, reflecting a region defined by its glacial hydrology and agricultural heritage. The 1968 field check reveals a transition toward conservation, as seen in the establishment of the Klages State Wildlife Management Areas and several sections of the National Wildlife Management Area. These protected zones intermingle with a strictly surveyed grid of rural roads and drainage systems like County Ditch No 2. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as the Akron Cem and a Townhall located near the shore of Artichoke Lake. Small-scale resource extraction is visible through scattered Gravel Pits, while the presence of a second Cem further south highlights the dispersed settlement pattern of Akron and Artichoke townships during the late 1960s.
