1969 Map of Eagle Bend NW

About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands dominate this landscape across the border of Otter Tail and Todd counties. The central portion is defined by the Eastern Township State Wildlife Management Area, a preserved expanse of water and marshland including West Annalaide Lake and the smaller East Annalaide Lake. Settlement is sparse, characterized by a grid of rural roads, a local Townhall, and a small cemetery near the township lines. The Wing River meanders through the northern townships of Woodside and Bertha, while the southern reaches of Eastern and Wykeham are punctuated by Lake Mary and Long Lake. Numerous gravel pits suggest the extractive activity supporting local infrastructure in this period of the late 1960s.
