1969 Map of Mc Intosh

About this map

McIntosh serves as the primary hub for the surrounding townships of King, Knute, Lessor, and Badger in this late-1960s survey of Polk County. The landscape is defined by its numerous prairie lakes and wetlands, including Oak Lake, Frisk Lake, and Keller Lake, many of which are protected under the National Wildlife Management Area and Polk State Wildlife Management Areas. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts diagonally through the terrain, passing through McIntosh and past the Weight Station at the edge of the water.
