About this map

Stump Lake and its surrounding prairie potholes dominate this 1950s landscape, reflecting the glacial geography of Nelson County. The survey captures the shoreline at a specific historical moment, noting a mean elevation of 1400 feet for 1950, which fluctuates significantly in this terminal lake basin. Much of the western shore is protected as the Stump Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a vital conservation area for migratory birds.
