About this map

Montgomery serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated at the junction of two major rail lines. The Chicago and North Western runs north-south through the center of town, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific cuts diagonally across the township. This transportation network supported a landscape dotted with numerous lakes and agricultural operations, as evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit and a widespread drainage system of county ditches.

Local history is well-preserved through several ecclesiastical and community landmarks. Researchers will find the St John Cem, Calvary Cem, Bohemian Cem, and St Michael Cem spaced throughout the countryside, reflecting the settlement patterns of Lanesburgh, Wheatland, and Erin townships. Distinctive water bodies like the large Lake Pepin and Lake Sanborn characterize the glaciated terrain of Le Sueur County.
