1979 Map of Big Briens Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Big Briens Lake and its smaller companion, Little Briens Lake, anchor this corner of Price County in the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the wetlands and winding courses of the South Fork Jump River to the north and the convergence of Douglas Creek and Knox Creek to the south. This area sits at the intersection of the townships of Hackett, Prentice, and Knox, where a grid of rural routes provides access to isolated homesteads and several Gravel Pits. Local history is embedded in the road names, from the utilitarian Mail Route Road and Chicago Avenue to the family-derived Nyberg Hill Road and Goetzke Road. The map reveals a transition from dense woodland and marshes to cleared fields, marked by fine red dashed lines that delineate the fence and field boundaries of the era's working farmsteads.
