1972 Map of Gully

About this map

Gully serves as the primary settlement on this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1969 aerial photography to reveal the agricultural and hydrologic patterns of northern Minnesota. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Lost River and the extensive marshlands protected within the Le Blanc State Wildlife Management Area. This 1972 survey captures the intersection of natural watercourses and human infrastructure, including the straight-cut line of County Ditch No 49 and a major Pipeline cutting diagonally across the township boundaries. Genealogists will find the Oak Grove Cem and an additional Cem in Johnson township, while researchers can trace the rural property divisions across Winsor, Hansgard, and EDENEden townships. The map's photographic base provides an exceptionally clear view of the field boundaries and woodlots during the early 1970s.
