About this map

Lac qui Parle and the Minnesota River dominate the landscape of this 1950s survey, marking the intersection of Chippewa and Lac qui Parle counties. The village of Milan serves as the regional hub, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The map captures the agricultural and community infrastructure of the mid-century, from the rural School No 836 to the Kviteseid Cem and Lac qui Parle Cem.

Along the water, Rosemoen Island sits within the widening river, while the Lac qui Parle River and Tenmile Cr feed into the main valley. The terrain is marked by significant geological features like the Watson Sag and several Gravel Pits, indicating the importance of local material extraction. This edition reflects a period of established land use within the townships of Kragero, Hantho, and Cerro Gordo.
