Okamanpeedan Lake and its surrounding conservation areas define this northern Emmet County landscape, where the Minnesota border meets the headwaters of the East Fork Des Moines River. The 1970s land use captured here shows a balance between recreational state parks and the industrial legacy of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. Small rail-dependent settlements like Dolliver, Gridley, and Maple Hill are clearly documented, along with the extensive network of agricultural drainage channels such as Ditch No 68 and Ditch No 35 that transformed the prairie. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Armstrong Grove Cem and Mt Calvary Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogists tracing family ties to the townships of Lincoln and Armstrong Grove.
