1970 Map of Mildred

About this map

The Mildred settlement and the Northern Pacific railroad corridor define the southern landscape of this 1970 survey. This part of Cass County is characterized by an intricate network of interconnected glacial lakes and wetland systems, including Big Portage Lake, Hattie Lake, and the uniquely named Oz Yoke Lake. The mapping reveals a transition in land use, from the established Pine River Cem near the townsite to the recreation-focused Public Access points on Lindsey Lake. Notable for local researchers is the Chickamaw Beach Corporate Bdy, which marks the jurisdictional boundaries within the township of Barclay. The presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered sandpits indicates the local extraction industry that operated alongside the region's prominent timber and rail infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
