1968 Map of Lake Minnewaska

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lake Minnewaska dominates the northern landscape of this Pope County region, characterized by its deep waters and the prominent shoreline of Lawrence Point and Swenson Point. The terrain to the south reveals a glaciated prairie landscape dense with smaller water bodies like Nelson Lake, Lake Jennum, and Ben Lake. The Northern Pacific railroad cuts across the northwest corner, serving as a primary transit artery for the agricultural community. Cultural landmarks such as the Barsness Ch and the Townhall anchor the rural townships of Barsness and Glenwood. Along the southern ridges of the Blue Mounds, the presence of several Gravel Pits suggests the importance of local mineral extraction in the late 1960s, while the Pezhekee Golf Course and a National Wildlife Management Area reflect the area's dual role in recreation and conservation.
