1970 Map of Lakefield SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Little Sioux River winds through this rural borderland between Jackson County, Minnesota, and Dickinson County, Iowa, as it appeared in the early 1970s. This agricultural landscape, divided into the townships of Rost, Hunter, Sioux Valley, and Minneota, is defined by its extensive system of conservation lands. Large tracts such as the Husen State Wildlife Management Area and the Minnesota Slough State Wildlife Management Area dominate the topography, preserving native wetlands and prairie habitat. Scattered throughout the farmsteads are essential community anchors, including Holy Trinity Ch, St Johns Ch, and the Holy Trinity Cem. In the southern portion of the sheet, the waters of Rush Lake and the northern tip of Little Spirit Lake mark the transition across the state line, while a prominent Pipeline cuts a linear path across the western sections, illustrating the modern industrial infrastructure overlaying this traditional prairie environment.
