1964 Map of Ravinia

About this map

Lake Andes dominates this 1964 landscape, its distinctive shape stretching across the Charles Mix County terrain toward the settlement of Ravinia. The map documents a critical conservation era with the Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge protecting the shoreline and marshy reaches of Johnson Bay and Owens Bay. A clear transportation corridor is visible to the south, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks run parallel to the southern edge of the lake.
