1972 Map of Edmore SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Glacial potholes and small wetlands dominate the landscape of Ramsey County in the early 1970s. The town of Lawton sits at the eastern edge of the survey, where the Lawton corporate boundary encompasses a concentrated cluster of structures and the local Lawton Cem. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the northeastern corner, providing a vital transportation link for the surrounding agricultural townships of Fancher, Triumph, Lillehoff, and Newbre. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered throughout the region, particularly near the township boundaries, indicating local resource extraction used for road building and infrastructure in this prairie environment. This period is captured just as fine red dashed lines were used to indicate visible fence and field lines from aerial photography, providing an intricate look at property divisions and rural land management.
