1968 Map of Lake Simon

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Glacial lakes and marshlands dominate this late-1960s landscape at the intersection of Pope, Swift, and Kandiyohi counties. The water-rich terrain of Gilchrist and Kerkhoven townships is defined by significant bodies such as Lake Simon, Scandinavian Lake, and Gilchrist Lake. These basins, often connected by slow-moving water like the Chippewa River East Branch, reflect the post-glacial topography of central Minnesota. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local industry focused on the area's geological deposits.
