About this map

Florida Creek and Antelope Creek meander through the prairie landscape of western Minnesota in this late 1960s survey. The map document spans the boundary of Lac qui Parle and Yellow Medicine Counties, capturing a rural landscape organized by the township system of Manfred, Freeland, Florida, and Hammer. The distribution of farmsteads is punctuated by local community landmarks, including the Bethlehem Cem and Florida Ch.

Transportation and conservation efforts are evident through the C & Nw railroad tracks and the northern presence of the De Vorak State Wildlife Management Area. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and drainage patterns typical of this glacial plain, supported by scattered Gravel Pits and several civic Townhall locations. The inclusion of fine dashed lines for fence and field lines offers unique detail for researchers tracing land use and property boundaries during this era.
