1967 Map of Wabasso SE

About this map

Sleepy Eye Creek winds through a landscape of organized townships and conservation lands in this late 1960s study of Redwood County. The map details a transition between agricultural drainage, marked by the extensive Judicial Ditch No 36, and preserved natural spaces like the Waterbury State Wildlife Management Area and Mammenga State Wildlife Management Area. These areas indicate a localized effort to balance intensive farming with habitat protection near the prairie wetlands. In the north, St Matthews Cem stands near a small Townhall, serving as a focal point for the rural community. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Cottonwood River, joined by Pell Creek, where the presence of multiple Gravel Pits reflects the area's geological utility for local infrastructure.
