1966 Map of Casino

About this map

Casino and the neighboring settlement of Bridgeman anchor this 1966 topographic survey of central Minnesota, illustrating a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small glacial water bodies. The terrain transitions from the upland heights of Ghost Hill and Brush Hill in the north toward the meandering course of Sevenmile Creek and Rush Brook. Local genealogy is anchored by the Bridgeman Cem and a centrally located Townhall, while the presence of numerous Gravel Pits suggests the importance of local material extraction for road building during this era. The map detail highlights the specific character of the lake country, naming dozens of distinct water features including Solarz Lake, Fucat Lake, and the remote Pale Lake. This document captures the township boundaries of Meadow Brook, May, and Fairview before significant modern development, preserving the placement of rural homesteads and unimproved dirt roads.
