1969 Map of Oylen

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Crow Wing River winds through this central Minnesota landscape, defining the character of the border between Wadena and Cass counties in the late 1960s. The area is heavily marked by conservation and recreation, including the expansive Lyons State Forest and the Strike Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Cultural history is evident near the river's northern bends, where Indian Mounds are located in close proximity to the Lyons Cem. The small settlement of Oylen serves as a local hub amidst a patchwork of wetlands and timber. This survey illustrates a period of public land management, with dedicated spaces like the Dry Sand Lake State Wildlife Management Area and riparian amenities such as Little Round Hill Campground and Knob Hill Campground providing access to the river's edge and its numerous tributaries, including Beaver Creek and Farnham Creek.
