USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Glacial lakes and small rural communities define this mid-century portrait of Polk County, centered on the village of Balsam Lake. The landscape is a complex network of water bodies, including Wapogasset Lake and the irregular shoreline of Balsam Lake itself, which features landmarks like Paradise Island and Cedar Lake. This era shows a high density of rural education, with one-room schoolhouses like Goose Lake Sch and Apple River Valley Sch still serving the farming townships.
