1970 Map of Ceylon
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The town of Ceylon anchors this 1970 survey of the border region between Martin County, Minnesota, and Emmet County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and agricultural drainage, featuring the East Fork Des Moines River and a chain of natural water bodies including Susan Lake, Fish Lake, and Clear Lake. Notable for local historians is the depiction of several former lake basins, specifically the Manyaska Lakebed and Smith Lakebed, which illustrate the long-term modification of the prairie landscape for farming.
