1981 Map of Barnesville
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Barnesville serves as the focal point of this 1981 survey, positioned at the intersection of the Burlington Northern railroad lines and the boundary of Clay and Wilkin counties. The town's layout includes a Fairground, a Trailer Park, and the recreation area around Blue Eagle Lake. The surrounding prairie landscape is defined by the branching courses of Whisky Creek, Stony Creek, and Hay Creek, which drain the agricultural lands of Elkton and Humboldt townships. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of Rosemound, Elkton, and Norwegian cemeteries, alongside St Marys Ch. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the extensive State Wildlife Management Areas to the north highlight the dual local economy of resource extraction and land conservation during the early 1980s.
