1966 Map of Union Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Union Lake and its surrounding glacial kettle lakes dominate this mid-century landscape in the glacial lake plains of northwestern Minnesota. The area is defined by a heavy concentration of wetlands and water bodies, including Lake Sarah, Bradley Lake, and Maltrud Lake, which are preserved in part by the National Wildlife Management Area and the Rindahl State Wildlife Management Area. The settlement pattern follows a traditional township grid, with the township lines for Woodside, Knute, Garden, and Winger meeting in this lake-rich territory. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Lima Ch and Union Lake Ch, each with its associated cemetery. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Sand Hill River, while several Gravel Pits indicate local extractive activity in the post-war era.
