1963 Map of Pisek

About this map

Pisek stands as the primary rail-oriented settlement on this Walsh County landscape, situated along the Great Northern railroad line. The map captures a mid-century agricultural environment defined by precise township boundaries including Rushford, Eden, and Kensington. Local infrastructure is anchored by the presence of St Johns Cem and a network of Gravel Pits that suggest the importance of local material extraction for road building in this period. The landscape is also notable for the Soo Line cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle and a small Landing Strip in the township of Ops. A unique detail of this specific survey is the inclusion of fine red dashed lines indicating field and fence boundaries visible from aerial photographs, providing an unusually clear look at mid-century land use and property divisions.
