1968 Map of Lake Preston NE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Glacial depressions and agricultural field lines define the landscape of Kingsbury County in the late 1960s, a terrain shaped by the townships of Hartland, Badger, Baker, and Denver. The southern edge of the survey is dominated by the northern reaches of Lake Preston, while the surrounding prairie is dotted with localized landmarks of the Norwegian Lutheran heritage common to this region. Several rural congregations and their associated burial grounds serve as anchors for the local community, including Bethania Ch and Bethania Cem in the northwest, and North Preston Ch near the center of the sheet. The transport of goods during this era relied on the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor along the southern margin, while local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits used for road maintenance. This map preserves the exact placement of family-named sites like Hinderlie Cem and Odden Cem before modern agricultural consolidation.
