1965 Map of Tenmile Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Lac Qui Parle River meanders through the northern reaches of this Minnesota landscape, its oxbows and wetlands define a region heavily shaped by both natural watercourses and 20th-century agricultural engineering. The intricate network of drainage features, including County Ditch No 34 and Judicial Ditch No 1, illustrates the systematic effort to manage the prairie floor for farming. This 1965 field-checked survey highlights a period of conservation, evidenced by the large footprints of the Baxter State Wildlife Management Area and the Ten-Well State Wildlife Management Area. Human activity is anchored by the Chicago and North Western railroad line cutting through the southwest and local landmarks like Our Saviors Ch and the Townhall, which served as the social centers for the surrounding townships of Baxter and Maxwell.
