About this map

Glacial lakes and production areas define the terrain around Audubon, where the Burlington Northern line cuts across a landscape saturated with water. The area is a mosaic of conservation and early 20th-century community infrastructure, featuring numerous National Waterfowl Production Areas alongside local landmarks like the Detroit Lakes Landing Field and a Drive-in Theater near Long Lake.

Genealogists will find significant local history markers including Immanuel Cem, Elmwood Cem, and rural parishes such as St Peters Ch and Lake Eunice Ch. The transition from the settled town of Audubon to the recreational character of Shoreham is evident, with a Golf Course and Country Club appearing near the southern lakes. This sheet captures a critical balance between the managed wilderness of the Becker State Wildlife Management Area and the expanding development of the mid-to-late 20th century.
