About this map

Glacial topography and conservation efforts dominate this mid-1970s survey of the Chippewa Moraine. Much of the northwest is protected within the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve, a landscape defined by thousands of years of geological activity that left behind a dense cluster of kettle lakes, including Plummer Lake, Dumke Lake, and the Triple Lakes. This area was a focal point for early environmental preservation and youth recreation, evidenced by Camp Norwesco and Camp Nawakwa.

South of the glacial ridge, the terrain transitions into the township of Cleveland, where a rural community infrastructure is visible through the Cleveland Cem, Trinity Ch, and the local Townhall. Water management is a significant feature of the drainage systems here, with several engineered impoundments such as Wilton Creek Flowage No 1 and Spring Creek Flowage No 1 appearing alongside the winding Willow Creek.
