1970 Map of Sanborn
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Sanborn serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and local agriculture define the local economy. The terrain is notably characterized by a complex of water bodies including Sanborn Lake, Round Lake, and the expansive Hobart Lake to the east. These wetlands are preserved within the National Wildlife Management Area and the National Wildlife Refuge, illustrating a deliberate balance between land cultivation and habitat conservation. Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the townships, from St Peter Cem in the north to Sacred Heart Cem, Fairview Cem, and Nebo Cem further south. The map's detailed plotting of fence lines and field boundaries provides an intimate look at the 1970s land division in Potter and Stewart townships.
