2010 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Lake Minnewaska dominates the southern landscape of this Pope County survey, where the city of Glenwood serves as a local hub. The map captures a transition between the established lakeside community and the surrounding agricultural grid, punctuated by a dense network of local cemeteries like Swedish Mission Cemetery and Saint John's Cemetery that offer vital clues for genealogical research. Shoreline development is evident at Long Beach and near Woodlawn Resort and Campground, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a recreational destination. The northern reach is defined by Lake Reno, while smaller basins like Ann Lake and John Lake dot the interior. Water management is visible through engineered features such as the Pelican Lake Inlet Dam and Judicial Ditch Number Three, which demonstrate how the natural hydrology has been adapted for local land use. Local landmarks like the Pope County Fairgrounds and Glenwood Post Office ground the map in the civic life of the era.
