1971 Map of Island Lake

About this map

Island Lake and the surrounding prairie wetlands dominate this northern prairie landscape along the border of Rolette and Pierce counties. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a rural area defined by its water bodies and the infrastructure of the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents two local religious landmarks, Island Lake Ch and Lakeview Ch, providing precise locations for researchers tracing the social and genealogical history of these rural townships.
