About this map

Casino and the nearby settlement of Bridgeman anchor this 1960s survey of southern Cass County, where a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands dictates the local geography. The landscape is defined by its transition from the wooded uplands of Meadowbrook and Homebrook to the more open drainage basins of May and Fairview. Numerous small bodies of water, including the descriptively named Ghost Hill, Pale Lake, and Beaver Pond, are scattered across the terrain, connected by waterways like Sevenmile Creek and Mosquito Creek.

Family and community history is centered at the southern edge of the map, where the Bridgeman Cem and a local Townhall serve as landmarks for the rural population. Industrial activity is indicated by several Gravel Pits concentrated near the settlements. The presence of Pine Island and Brush Hill suggests the varied elevation of this north-central Minnesota region during a period of steady rural development.
