1968 Map of Princeton
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The meandering Rum River serves as the central geographic feature of this late 1960s landscape, winding through Princeton and the surrounding townships. The town itself is a clear hub of activity, featuring the County Fairground, a Radio Tower, and the local Jr High Sch and High Sch. The Great Northern railroad cuts a straight north-south path through the region, passing by the small settlement of Brickton and the local Picnic Area. This survey documents a critical period of regional drainage management, shown by the extensive network of canals including County Ditch No 12 and County Ditch No 4. Genealogists will find several burial sites well-documented, from the centrally located Cemetery near the fairgrounds to the more outlying Ebenezer Cem, Berry Cem, and Baldwin Cem.
