USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Glacial depressions and wetlands define this portion of Palo Alto County, where the landscape is a patchwork of marshes and prairie potholes. The town of Graettinger sits at the northeastern corner, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural townships of Lost Island, Walnut, Highland, and Emmetsburg. This 1972 survey reveals a region heavily invested in conservation, evidenced by the extensive Fallow Marsh State Game Management Area and Blue Wing Marsh State Game Management Area.
