About this map

The glacial prairie landscape of Renville County is defined here by a chain of significant water bodies, including Lake Allie and Preston Lake. This late 1960s survey illustrates a rural environment heavily modified for agriculture, evidenced by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure such as Judicial Ditch No 132 and County Ditch No 1. These channels navigate the flat terrain between Boon Lake and the meandering path of Buffalo Creek to the south.

Local civic life is centered around the small settlement of Lakeside and the nearby Townhall. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of early community landmarks, including School No 1769 and Evergreen Cem. The inclusion of Lake Allie Park and soundings for the major lakes reflects the area's dual identity as both a productive farming region and a destination for local recreation.
