1953 Map of Houghton
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of Brown County, preserving the marshy bottomlands of the James River valley in the early 1950s. The landscape is a study in managed hydrology, featuring the expansive Sand Lake Reservoir and Mud Lake Reservoir, which were developed as part of the Missouri River Basin program. The small settlement of Houghton sits at the junction of the Chicago and North Western railway and the local road network, serving as a concentrated hub for the surrounding townships of Liberty, Portage, Lansing, and Shelby.
