1980 Map of Old Stickney Lake

About this map

Old Stickney Lake sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, serving as a focal point for the Old Stickney Lake State Public Shooting Area and the nearby Nelson State Public Shooting Area. The terrain reflects the organized grid of the Great Plains, where township boundaries like Dudley, Union, Aurora, and Baker meet along the Aurora Co Davison Co line. This 1980 edition captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the local Townhall to the small settlement of Metzgerville on the eastern edge. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for the Nicolaisen Cem, Union Cem, and Zion Ch. Educational and industrial markers such as Baker Sch and a Gravel Pit further illustrate the sparse but deliberate distribution of human activity across these agricultural reaches.
