1982 Map of Lake Elizabeth

About this map

Lake Elizabeth and its prominent Big Island define this glaciated landscape in Kandiyohi County. The early 1980s terrain is characterized by a high density of wetlands and protected areas, including the Gennesse State Wildlife Management Area and multiple waterfowl production sites. Rural life is anchored by a network of local landmarks such as the Townhall and several historical burial grounds, including Union Cem and the Lake Elizabeth Cem. The presence of Gravel Pits and various drainage features like Ditch point to the area's agricultural and industrial utility. Smaller water bodies like Summit Lake and Mennetaga Lake dot the township, while the border between Gennesse and Acton reflects the grid-based settlement pattern typical of the Minnesota prairie.
