1967 Map of Mount Wickham

About this map

Mount Wickham rises as a prominent landmark in this western Minnesota prairie landscape, which is defined by the intricate meandering of the Lac qui Parle River and its West Branch. The 1960s terrain shows a region carefully partitioned into townships including Augusta, Arena, Mehurin, Garfield, Manfred, and Freeland. The distribution of water features like Florida Creek, Cobb Creek, and the Bolland Sloughs highlights the importance of drainage and conservation in this agricultural area. Dedicated conservation efforts are evident in the established boundaries of the Haydenville State Wildlife Management Area, Kemen State Wildlife Management Area, and Sweetwater State Wildlife Management Area, preserving vital wetlands and habitats amidst the surveyed fields.
