1968 Map of Princeton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The St Francis River and West Branch Rum River define the marshy lowland character of this central Minnesota landscape during the late 1960s. Large portions of the quadrangle are dedicated to conservation, notably the expansive Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge in the south and the Kunkel State Wildlife Management Area surrounding Rice Lake. This map captures a transition period where natural wetlands and prairie brooks were being managed through an extensive network of drainage projects, such as County Ditch No 6 and County Ditch No 3. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of the Greenbush Cem and the central Townhall provide essential reference points for the rural township of Greenbush. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a cross-country Pipeline indicate the light industrial and infrastructure developments supporting the local economy alongside these protected natural areas.
