1970 Map of Bartlett

About this map

Bartlett stands as the primary hub of this prairie landscape during the late 1960s, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line. The map illustrates a region defined by its numerous small water bodies and glacial depressions, including Twin Lakes and Jones Lake. A significant portion of the southern terrain is dedicated to the Rose Lake National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses the waters of Rose Lake. The survey also documents the local infrastructure of the era, noting several Gravel Pits and a local Cem near the town site. Crossing the southern portion of the map is the boundary between Ramsey Co and Nelson Co, providing a clear view of how these county lines intersected with rural townships like Nixon, Clara, and Lakota.
