1971 Map of Potato Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Long Lake and the glacial terrain of Washburn County define this early 1970s landscape, characterized by an intricate network of waterways and wetlands. The map details a dense cluster of lakes including Potato Lake, Baker Lake, and Seymour Lake, many of which are connected by streams like Potato Creek. Large marshy expanses such as Crystal Swamp and localized water sources like Mackay Springs and Westenberg Spring highlight the region's hydrography before significant modern development. Cultural landmarks are sparse but specific, including a Lookout Tower in the eastern hills and a local Townhall near several Gravel Pits. The presence of multiple boat ramps and a picnic area indicates the area's established role for outdoor recreation. This survey captures the transition between the deep waters of The Narrows and the surrounding timberlands of Birchwood.
