1968 Map of Lake Minnewaska

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Lake Minnewaska dominates the northern landscape of this Pope County region, characterized by its deep waters and prominent shoreline features like Lawrence Point and Swenson Point. During the late 1960s, the area maintained a balance of agricultural lands and recreational spaces, evidenced by the Pezhekee Golf Course overlooking the water. The southern portion of the map reveals a high density of smaller glacial lakes, including Nelson Lake, Lake Mary, and Lake Ben, which are interspersed with localized landmarks such as the Townhall and Barsness Ch. Historical transportation is anchored by the Northern Pacific railroad corridor, which skirts the northern lake shore. The map also documents specific cultural sites for genealogists and local historians, such as the Lake Ben Cem and scattered Gravel Pits that suggest the era's local extractive industry.
