1966 Map of Ulen SW

About this map

The South Branch Wild Rice River meanders through the northeast corner of this Clay County landscape, marking a natural contrast to the heavily managed agricultural drainage system to the south. In the mid-1960s, this region was defined by an extensive network of waterways including County Ditch No 45, County Ditch No 10, and Ditch No 79, which speak to the area's transition into productive farmland. Central to the map is the Felton State Wildlife Management Area, a preserved space amid the sectioned townships of Felton, Hagen, Flowing, and Keene. The settlement of Felton sits on the western edge, near the Felton Cem, while numerous Gravel Pits and a Flowing Well indicate the local geological and water resources being utilized during this era.
