1958 Map of Pennock

About this map

Pennock sits as the central hub of this prairie landscape, positioned along the Great Northern railroad line that cuts diagonally through the southern sections. This late 1950s survey captures a rural environment defined by its numerous water bodies and township organization, with the boundaries of Arctander, Mamre, Pillsbury, and St Johns converging here. The distribution of School No. 761 North, School No. 761 South, and School No. 780 reflects a time of local district schooling serving the surrounding farmsteads. Cultural and social life is anchored by community landmarks such as Salem Ch, Mamre Lund Ch, and the local Town Hall. To the east, larger bodies of water like Mamre Lake, Church Lake, and West Solomon Lake dominate the terrain, providing a look at the natural hydrology before modern drainage or development altered the wetland patterns of Kandiyohi County.
