1973 Map of Epiphany

About this map

Epiphany sits at the border of Miner and Hanson Counties, serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape during the early 1970s. The region is defined by an extensive network of prairie wetlands and water bodies, most notably the elongated reach of Long Lake and the smaller Lutz Lake and Spring Lake. These natural features are integrated into conservation and recreation zones, including the Long Lake State Public Shooting Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area. The terrain is drained by several meandering watercourses such as Rock Creek, Johnson Creek, and Pierre Creek, which cut through the townships of Beaver, Rock Creek, and Fairview. The map also documents localized industrial activity with scattered Gravel Pits, reflecting the literal foundations of the area's rural road network.
