About this map

The Clear Lake shoreline dominates this 1951 survey of Cerro Gordo and Hancock Counties, revealing a developed lakeside community supported by a robust mid-century transportation network. Three major rail lines, including the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads, converge near the water, while the Mason City & Clear Lake Railroad connects the local hubs.

Recreation is well-established at McIntosh Woods State Park and Clear Lake State Park, alongside community landmarks like Lone Oak Park. For genealogists, the map identifies local gathering places such as St. Patrick's Church, the Christian Science Church, and the Evangelical Church. Educational and memorial sites are also documented, including the Pleasant View School, Clear Lake Cemetery, and Pleasant View Cemetery.
