About this map

Cormana Lake and the surrounding coulees of Lincoln County are captured here just as the regional transport network was transitioning in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, which skirts the southeastern corner of the map near the small settlement of Downs. Further west, the map identifies the location of Mona, providing a precise look at these rural outposts and their connection to the wider wheat-growing region.

Agricultural infrastructure is a prominent feature of this 1969 survey, marked by the presence of isolated Storage Bins and a network of unimproved routes like the Jeep Trail. Water features, including Duck Creek, Swenson Lake, and Coal Creek, provide essential landmarks in this open terrain. For those researching family history or land use, the map documents numerous resource extraction sites such as various Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit locations, alongside the path of a major Pipeline.
