1971 Map of Lambs Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lambs Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the National Waterfowl Production Area define this pocket of Nelson County, where the prairie landscape is dotted with numerous kettle lakes and wetlands. The map illustrates a rural society organized around townships such as Michigan City, Petersburg, and Melvin, where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System dictate the placement of roads and farmsteads. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Townhall and the Melrose Ch Cem, while the winding course of Goose Creek connects larger water bodies like Stella Lake and Harrison Lake. The abundance of named Gravel Pits throughout the quadrangle points to the importance of local material extraction for maintaining the area's grid-based transport network.
