1967 Map of Lake Benton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Medary Creek winds through this rural prairie landscape along the border of Minnesota and South Dakota in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the townships of Richland, Drammen, Altona, and Elkton, showcasing a late-twentieth-century agricultural layout of section lines and scattered farmsteads. Local history is anchored at the Stolz Cem and a small Roadside Park along the highway, while several Gravel Pits indicate the local extractive industry of the time. The map provides a meticulous record of the Brookings and Lincoln County line, documenting the exact placement of fences and field lines captured during 1965 aerial photography and verified on the ground just before the decade's end.
