1963 Map of Gislason Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Gislason Lake lies at the center of this rural prairie landscape on the border of Lincoln and Lyon counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Branch Yellow Medicine River, which cuts a deep, meandering valley through the glacial till of Limestone and Nordland townships. The map reveals a post-war agricultural landscape where section-line roads connect isolated farmsteads and specialized features like the Zion Ch in the southeast corner. Significant water bodies, including Goose Lake and the marshy edges of Island Lake, dot the southern townships of Lake Stay and Island Lake, illustrating the natural drainage patterns before modern field tiling fully transformed the region's hydrology. Numerous Gravel Pit locations suggest the importance of local material extraction for the maintenance of the extensive township road network.
