1971 Map of Doyon

About this map

Doyon serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape during the early 1970s, situated at the intersection of local township life and major transportation lines. The Burlington Northern railroad bisects the terrain, running east-to-west through the heart of the settlement. The map reveals the intricate land management of the era, where the rural townships of Stevens, Bartlett, Odessa, and Illinois meet near the Ramsey Co Nelson Co line. Numerous depressions and wetlands are designated as the National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the conservation priorities of the time amidst an agricultural backdrop. Genealogists will find interest in the precisely located Doyon Cem, while several Gravel Pit operations indicate the local industry supporting the region's road and rail infrastructure.
