About this map

The Mississippi River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, separating the townships of Brockway and Watab. This mid-1970s record highlights the area's transition from agricultural river valley to a more developed corridor, as seen in the growth of Sartell near the southern boundary. Along the eastern bank, Little Rock Lake serves as a major focal point, with its distinctive shoreline punctuated by Little Rock Creek and surrounding developments like the Trailer Park and Campground.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the scattered cultural markers, including the Rice Cem and Brockway Cem, as well as the singular Lone Grave located north of Rice Creek. The map also documents the local infrastructure of the era, from the Radio Tower (WJON) to the various Quarry and Gravel Pit operations that suggest the region's industrial activity alongside its recreational spaces.
