1982 Map of Emmons

About this map

The settlement of Emmons sits at the very base of the Minnesota border in the early 1980s, adjacent to State Line Lake and the Freeborn and Worth County boundary. This agricultural landscape in Nunda and Freeman townships is defined by its glaciated hydrology, where an extensive network of drainage projects like County Ditch No 4 and Judicial Ditch No 9 lace between numerous lakes. To the north, the village of Twin Lakes is positioned near an Old RR Grade, suggesting the area's older transportation corridor. Local history is anchored by several rural landmarks including Shady Oak Church and Lunder Church Cemetery, while conservation areas such as the Bear Lake State Wildlife Area and White Woods County Park preserve the natural character of the Lower Twin Lake and Bear Lake shorelines.
