1949 Map of Rennie Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The rolling prairies of Burke County are defined by a complex network of glacial depressions and drainage basins in the late 1940s. The northern reaches are shaped by the Great Northern railroad line, which cuts across a landscape dotted with significant water features like Rennie Lake, Black Slough, and the aptly named Shallow Lake. These basins suggest the seasonal water patterns of the region, where the East Branch Short Creek provides a primary channel through the terrain. Evidence of rural community organization is prominent through the placement of local education centers, including Scandia Sch and School No 1. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Foothills, showing a distinct change in elevation and topography compared to the flatter northern sections where early 20th-century agriculture and transit took hold.
