1970 Map of Dorset

About this map

Big Sand Lake and Lake Emma define the upper reaches of this Hubbard County landscape, where the glacial geography of Minnesota created an intricate network of waterways connected by the Sand River and Hellkamp Creek. The small settlement of Dorset sits along the Burlington Northern railroad line, featuring the Dorset Lookout Tower as a local landmark. Further south, the town of Nevis borders the expansive Lake Belle Taine, while the Crow Wing River system links several smaller water bodies including Fifth Crow Wing Lake and Sixth Crow Wing Lake. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies rural landmarks such as the Henrietta Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, alongside several gravel pits that hint at the local economy and road-building efforts of the early 1970s.
