About this map

Litchfield anchors the southern edge of this mid-century survey, revealing the city's structure just as the 1960s were coming to a close. The layout includes civic essentials like the Po, City Hall, and the Wagner Armory, alongside educational landmarks such as St Phillips Sch and the High Sch. The Great Northern railroad tracks cut a definitive line through the town, illustrating the continuing importance of rail transport to this Meeker County hub.

North of the city, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and prairie lakes including Lake Mary, Towers Lake, and the uniquely shaped Half Moon Lake. The Middle Fork North Fork Crow River meanders across the northern reaches, while the Madsen State Wildlife Management Area preserves a significant portion of the natural terrain. The presence of numerous gravel pits and the Litchfield Municipal Airport highlights the local industry and infrastructure of the era.
