1974 Map of Balsam Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Wapogasset Lake dominates the upper half of this orthophotoquad, its irregular shoreline and deep waters providing a central landmark for this portion of Polk County. The landscape is a distinct patchwork of agricultural fields and woodlots, typical of the regional farming patterns in the mid-1970s. The small settlement of Wanderoos is situated in the southwestern portion of the map, appearing as a modest cluster of structures and cross-roads amid the surrounding rural acreage. Produced from aerial photography taken in October 1974, the map provides a high-contrast visual record of the land use and drainage patterns before later development, showing the winding stream beds and smaller ponds that feed into the larger lake system.
