1966 Map of Flom

About this map

Wild Rice flows through this corner of Northwest Minnesota, where the agricultural landscape meets an extensive network of conservation lands in the mid-1960s. The map reveals a community structured around its spiritual and civic centers, featuring numerous rural houses of worship such as Wild Rice Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Aspelund Ch. A significant portion of the terrain is dedicated to wildlife preservation, including the Vangsness State Wildlife Management Area and the Home Lake State Wildlife Management Area, reflecting a managed balance between farming and the natural environment.
