About this map

Agricultural lands and numerous glacial lakes characterize this mid-century survey of the area east of Mankato. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Le Sueur River and the Cobb River, which navigate a terrain dotted with small rural schools like Sugar Grove Sch and Tivoli Sch. Transportation hubs of the era are clearly marked, including the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Great Western railroads, which served industrial points such as Lime Siding and Fletchers Siding. To the north, the cluster of large water bodies including Lake Washington and Madison Lake shows the region's established role for recreation and local settlement. Educational and religious institutions are prominent landmarks, ranging from the Teachers College and Good Counsel Academy in the west to the country St John Ch in the southern township of Decoria.
