1971 Map of Richardson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape in the early 1970s, showcasing a region defined by its numerous isolated water bodies and shifting sands. The map details a complex hydrological network including Swan Lake, the elongated Twin Lakes, and Richardson Lake, where a specific Pump landmark is noted along its western shore. This is ranching country, evidenced by the McGinley Ranch and small-scale industrial sites like the Sandpit in the southern sections. The terrain is marked by intricate contour lines that represent the unique sand hills topography, where drainage like Richstein Run flows through the low-lying areas between the dunes. Smaller features like Horse Lake and Lower Harrison Lake further illustrate the seasonal or permanent wetlands that provide critical habitat within the refuge and surrounding private lands.
