1978 Map of Nye

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Glacial topography defines this corner of Polk County, where dozens of kettle lakes and wetlands are interspersed with small dairy-country settlements and rural parishes. Near the center of the map, the village of Nye sits along the Soo Line railroad, south of the extensive Behning Creek State Public Fishing Area and Horse Lake. The landscape is dotted with generational landmarks essential for genealogists, including Sand Lake Cem, El Salem Cem, and West Immanuel Ch. The drainage patterns are dominated by Horse Creek and the Apple River in the southeast, while extractive industries like the Quarry near Round Lake and various sandpits reflect the local geology. Recreation and conservation are evident at Lotus Lake County Park, which borders the larger Lotus Lake.
