1970 Map of Heron Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Heron Lake shoreline and the surrounding agricultural basin of Weimer and La Crosse are captured here in the early 1970s. This survey illustrates a vital rail junction at Heron Lake, where the Chicago and North Western tracks intersect, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific line skirts the southern edge through the small settlement of Miloma. The landscape is defined by its water management and conservation efforts, seen in the Judicial Ditch No 2 and the Crosse State Wildlife Management Area. Local landmarks like the Héron Lake Memorial Field, several community burial grounds including Lakeside Cem, and the Des Moines River meandering through Southbrook provide a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and natural features of Jackson County during this period.
