1974 Map of Balsam Lake SE

About this map

Amery stands as a primary hub within this orthophotoquad, which was developed from aerial photography captured in late 1974. The imagery provides a clear look at the agricultural patterns and waterway systems that define this part of Polk County, showing the concentration of development in the northwestern portion of the sheet. Further south, the map details the layout of Clear Lake, showing its position within the broader rural landscape. Unlike traditional line-drawn topographic maps, this photographic survey reveals the precise textures of the Wisconsin woodlots, wetlands, and cultivated fields, offering a high-fidelity record of land use and property boundaries as they existed in the mid-1970s.
