1956 Map of Mae

About this map

Potholes Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this Grant County survey, showing the water level recorded at Elevation 1039 June 1956. The terrain is defined by the complex interaction of the rising reservoir waters and The Potholes, where countless small islands and inlets emerge from the submerged Sand Dunes. To the north, the small settlement of Mae sits near a local cemetery, while the wider Hiawatha Valley provides a contrast of flat, developable land against the shifting topography of the dunes.
