1967 Map of Edgerton North

About this map

Hatfield and the northern outskirts of Edgerton anchor this 1960s agricultural landscape in Pipestone County. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving as a primary corridor for the movement of goods through the townships of Gray, Burke, Elmer, and Osborne. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the numerous Gravel Pits supporting local road work to the managed conservation lands at the Burke State Wildlife Management Area. Waterways like the East Branch Rock River and Rock River wind through the sections, often flanked by benchmarks and bridges such as BR 1596. For those researching family history, the map includes the locations of Trosky Cem and Hillside Cem, providing essential markers of local settlement and community heritage.
