1971 Map of Bancroft East

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bancroft sits at the intersection of prairie topography and early 1970s rail infrastructure in this corner of Kingsbury County. The map documents a landscape defined by the drainage of Redstone Creek and the presence of glacial water bodies like Lake Agnew and Spirit Lake. This era shows the convergence of two major rail lines, the Burlington Northern in the northwest and the Chicago and North Western across the southern sections, illustrating the region's historical reliance on these corridors for grain and resource transport. The township boundaries of Le Sueur, Spirit Lake, and Manchester provide a clear framework for researchers tracing local property records and land use. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local extractive industry, while a solitary Radio Tower represents the modern communication footprint on the rural plains.
