About this map

Glacial lakes and conserved wetlands dominate this mid-century landscape in western Douglas County. The Chippewa River meanders through the central portion of the map, flanked by numerous small basins like Long Lake and Jennie Lake. The land use reflects a mix of agriculture and significant conservation efforts, evident in the extensive boundaries of the Urness State Wildlife Management Area and the Red Rock State Wildlife Management Area.

Local history is grounded in specific sites such as the St Petrie Ch and the Fryksende Cem, which serve as markers for the rural community of the era. Infrastructure of the 1960s is represented by a prominent Pipeline and the Great Northern railroad tracks, which cut across the northern terrain. The map also includes soundings and depth curves for several bodies of water, including Quam Lake and Barsness Lake, provided by the Minnesota Department of Conservation.
