1958 Map of Cayuga NW

About this map

Storm Lake Nat Wildlife Refuge anchors the northern reaches of this Sargent County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense collection of glacial lakes and depressions. The presence of Fangsrud Lake Bed alongside permanent waters like Kandiotta Lake and Borg Lake illustrates the fluctuating hydrology of the region in the late 1950s. Local civic and social life in the rural townships of Milnor, Shuman, and Herman is marked by scattered cornerstones including Concordia Ch, School No 3, and a centrally located Town Hall. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of local resting places such as Union Cem and Shuman Cem, providing a precise spatial record of these rural communities before further agricultural consolidation.
