1961 Map of Lake Fremont

About this map

The settlement of Lake Fremont (Zimmerman PO) serves as the primary hub in this Sherburne County landscape, where the Great Northern railroad line cuts a definitive north-south path through the glacial lake country. The terrain is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and named water bodies including Cantlin Lake, Sandy Lake, and the twin basins of West Hunter Lake and East Hunter Lake. This area, documented in 1961 and updated in 1980, shows a rural community defined by its water resources and conservation land, notably the Fremont Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Livonia Cem and Whitney Cem, while the drainage patterns of Tibbits Brook and Spencer Brook reveal the underlying hydrology that shaped the township's development. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pit locations near the railroad, supporting the infrastructure of growing Livonia.
