1966 Map of Lake Mary

About this map

Glacial topography and the interconnected basins of Douglas and Pope Counties define this mid-1960s landscape, dominated by the expansive Lake Mary. The survey reflects a rural community structured around local institutions, with the Townhall serving the center and scattered education sites such as Oak Grove Sch and Sunny Knoll Sch marking former school districts. Transport and infrastructure are centered near the growing edge of Alexandria, featuring the Alexandria Municipal Airport and a pipeline corridor cutting across the northern sections near Grand Lake. Natural conservation efforts are evident in the National Wildlife Management Area parcels located between the major lakes. For family historians, the presence of Bohemian Cem and Lake Mary Cem provides specific points for tracing local lineages in this central Minnesota lake country.
