1967 Map of Wabasso

About this map

The Chicago and North Western railway lines anchor this corner of Redwood County, connecting the grain-growing prairies of Vail and Granite Rock townships. The local economy is defined by the proximity of the Redwood River and a sophisticated network of water management features, including Judicial Ditch No 100 and County Ditch No 90. These drainage systems transformed the landscape for agricultural use, while areas like the Daubs Lake State Wildlife Management Area and Rohlik State Wildlife Management Area preserved pockets of the original wetland environment.
