About this map

The prairie landscape of the Barnes County high plains is captured here during the late 1960s, defined by the glacial depressions and wetlands of Grand Prairie and Weimer. The sheet reveals a rural network of section lines and small-scale community infrastructure, including a local Townhall and the Morton Cem in the northern reach. Central to the area's geography is Minnie Lake, which serves as a focal point for the surrounding farms and the nearby Minnie Lake Ch.

A striking geological feature, Pilot Knob rises above the undulating terrain in the western portion of the quadrangle. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower, indicating the mid-century development of this interior basin region. The map provides a precise record of the land before significant modern consolidation, preserving the locations of rural school district landmarks and family-associated sites across the townships of Noltimier and Weimer.
