1968 Map of Platte Lake

About this map

Platte Lake and the connected Sullivan Lake dominate this central Minnesota landscape, where the waters of Daggett Brook and the Platte River flow through a complex of wetlands and smaller basins. The small settlement of Pine Center stands as a focal point in the northeast, while the southern reaches near Lakeview show the intersection of local community life at Lakeview Cem. The 1960s terrain is characterized by numerous Gravel Pits, indicating the local extractive industry that shaped the land alongside traditional rural hallmarks like Emmanuel Ch and Holy Family Ch. The map provides detailed bathymetry for the primary lakes, offering a clear view of underwater topography that would have been essential for local recreation and conservation efforts during this period.
