1951 Map of Driscoll

About this map

Driscoll sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural townships of Sterling, Driscoll, and Pleasant Hill. The area's social fabric is evidenced by a dense network of local landmarks, including the Town Hall, Zion Ch, and numerous rural schoolhouses such as White Sch No 1. The map reveals a land defined by its glacial hydrology, with Magnuson Lake, Clear Lake, and Lake Geneva dotting the plains. In the southern portion, the Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge marks a significant conservation area. Historical depth is provided by the Chaska Historic Site, located north of the Stony Slough. The Pacific Northern railroad tracks cut across the terrain, paralleling the primary roads and connecting these isolated farmsteads to the wider region.
