1963 Map of Prairie Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Glacial lakes and marshlands define the landscape of northern Minnesota where the St Louis Co Carlton Co line divides the terrain. This 1963 survey captures the rural character of Halden and Floodwood townships, centered on the complex shoreline of Prairie Lake. The Prairie River meanders through the wetlands, connecting a series of smaller water bodies such as Leeman Lake and Moberg Lake. Settlement is sparse, concentrated primarily along section lines where a local Townhall and the Prairie Lake Cem serve the scattered residents of the Prairie Lake and Fine Lakes areas. The map reveals the importance of the local environment for resource extraction and community life, featuring several Gravel Pits and the Fine Lake Cem near the eastern wetlands. This detailed record preserves the footprint of a remote lake-country community before modern development altered its traditional rural layout.
