1969 Map of Evergreen

About this map

Toad Lake and Wolf Lake dominate this landscape within the townships of Evergreen and Spruce Grove. Based on field work from 1969, the map reveals a rural geography defined by glacial water bodies and meandering streams like Dead Horse Creek and the Redeye River. Small local landmarks provide important context for the community during this era, including Zion Ch and the Pickerel Ch and adjacent Pickerel Cem to the north. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered across the terrain, indicating the local industry of the period. The settlement of Evergreen sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the sheet, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural and lakeside properties. This survey provides a clear view of the road network and section lines that structured land ownership and movement in central Becker County at the end of the 1960s.
