1972 Map of Cornelia

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Lake Cornelia and its surrounding wetlands anchor this prairie landscape in Grant and Lake townships during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region defined by its water resources and conservation efforts, featuring large protected areas like the Elm Lake State Game Management Area and Morse Lake State Game Management Area. These natural basins, along with Morse Lake and Elm Lake, are part of a hydrological network that includes the Iowa River winding through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of St Olaf Ch and the Ringsaker Cem in the northwest, serving as vital landmarks for local family history. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing through the small community of Cornelia and approaching the edge of Belmond, reflecting the rail-centered agricultural transport patterns of the era.
