1967 Map of Currie

About this map

The Currie village center serves as a focal point near the headwaters of the Des Moines River, situated just south of the expansive waters of Lake Shetek. This 1960s landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation areas, notably Lake Shetek State Park, which encompasses island features like Loon Island and Keeley Island. The map records a rural infrastructure of local governance and community life, evidenced by a Townhall to the northeast and the Bethany Cem near Lake Sarah. Transport and industry are represented by the Chicago and North Western railroad line passing through the heart of the region. Distinctive environmental management is visible through the Fish Hatchery and designated grounds like the Rupp State Wildlife Management Area, reflecting the area's importance for both local transit and natural resource preservation.
