About this map

The glacial waters of Tenmile Lake and Birch Lake dominate this survey of central Cass County, as it appeared in the early 1970s. The village of Hackensack serves as the focal point, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line and the winding banks of the Boy River. This era shows a landscape defined by state and national forest management, with boundaries for the Chippewa National Forest and Foot Hills State Forest carving through the wooded terrain.

Genealogists and local researchers will find landmarks such as Hillcrest Cem and the Townhall near the southern hills. The map also records specialized industrial and recreational sites, from the numerous Gravel Pit operations to the Birch Lake Lookout Tower and the Boat Ramp on the western shores. Dozens of smaller named bodies of water like Jackpine Lake and Variety Lake illustrate the dense hydrography of the Hiram and Shingobee regions.
