1966 Map of Carlisle

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Carlisle serves as a central point in this prairie landscape, where the agricultural grid meets a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands in Otter Tail County. The transition from the high ground of Oscar and Carlisle townships into the river valleys is marked by the presence of numerous waterfowl habitats, including the Haarstick State Wildlife Management Area. Transport and utility infrastructure dictate the modern development of the area, seen in the path of the Burlington Northern railroad and the Fergus Falls Municipal Airport (Einar Mickelson Field). Significant water features like the Otter Tail River and the Dayton Hollow Reservoir define the southeastern corner, while smaller bodies such as Oscar Lake, Fjestad Lake, and Johnson Lake dot the northern sections. This topography reveals a landscape heavily managed for both aviation and conservation during the early 1970s.
