1969 Map of New York Mills West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The expansive waters of Big Pine Lake dominate the northwestern corner of this West-Central Minnesota landscape, where the shoreline meets a complex network of wetlands and smaller basins. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a sharp diagonal through the terrain, serving as the primary transit corridor for the settlements of Richdale and New York Mills. This era in Otto township shows a transition from rural agricultural land toward dedicated conservation, marked by large tracts of the National Wildlife Management Area. Local genealogy and land use are anchored by the presence of Greenwood Cem and smaller hamlets like Alvis. The map provides a detailed view of the water-rich geography, naming numerous bodies including Haberman Lake, Nitche Lake, and Windy Lake, alongside industrial sites like several Gravel Pits and a prominent Radio Tower.
