1970 Map of Fulda

About this map

The town of Fulda sits at the intersection of two major rail lines in southern Minnesota, serving as a hub for the surrounding townships of Bondin, Belfast, Seward, and Graham Lakes. This 1970 field check reveals a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and prairie waterways, notably the chain of Fulda Second Lake and Fulda First Lake which border the town center. To the southeast, the larger West Graham Lake and East Graham Lake dominate the terrain, with Jack Lake County Park and the Fulda State Wildlife Management Area highlighting the region's focus on conservation and outdoor recreation. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, including the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads that once drove the local agricultural economy.
