1971 Map of Longville

About this map

Chippewa National Forest surrounds the interconnected waters of central Cass County, where the Boy River links a dense chain of glacial lakes. The settlement of Longville serves as the local hub, featuring the Longville Municipal Airport and Sewage Disp Ponds as evidence of mid-century infrastructure growth. To the south, the landscape is defined by the large basins of Little Boy Lake and Wabedo Lake, separated by narrow channels and public access points. This 1970s survey captures a transition in land use, showing established recreation sites like Camp Olson alongside the Wabedo Cem and a Townhall. Notable landmarks for navigation and fire watch include the Longville Lookout Tower and a dedicated Winter Trail cutting through the eastern woods. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the shoreline suggest the active maintenance of local roads and development during this era.
