1968 Map of Platte Lake

About this map

The low-lying wetlands and glacial lake systems of central Minnesota dominate this landscape at the boundary of Crow Wing and Morrison counties. The extensive waters of Platte Lake and Sullivan Lake are central features, joined by the winding course of the Platte River. Human settlement is concentrated in small pockets, most notably at Pine Center, where the local road network converges near several Gravel Pits. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific community landmarks including Emmanuel Ch in the north and Holy Family Ch further south, alongside the Lakeview Ch Cem. The terrain is a complex mix of marshes and woods, characteristic of the Maple Grove and Richardson townships, where small water bodies like Erskine Lake and Bulldog Lake dot the landscape.
