About this map

The glacial landscape of central Minnesota is defined by the massive expanse of Lake Miltona, which dominates the western half of this 1969 survey. To its east, Lake Irene and smaller water bodies like Rainy Lake are interspersed with numerous Gravel Pits, indicating the importance of local material extraction for the region's development. The settlement of Miltona serves as the local hub, while the southern margin reaches the northern edge of Lake Carlos State Park, complete with its Campground.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several religious and community landmarks, including St Pauls Ch, Mt Calvary Cem, and Mt Carmel Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly visible as the Long Prairie River and Belle River meander through the southeastern corner near the prominent Spruce Hill. Large tracts are dedicated to conservation, notably the National Wildlife Management Area and the Hartfiel State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the character of the lakes and wetlands.
