1974 Map of Wheaton East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The prairie landscape of Traverse County unfolds across this mid-1970s survey, centered on the grid of Wheaton and the agricultural lands of Lake Valley. The town serves as a focal point for the region's transport, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line toward the southeast through Crooke. Water management is the defining human modification of this terrain, evidenced by a sophisticated network of canals such as County Ditch No 16 and County Ditch No 20 that channel water toward the Mustinka River and Lake Traverse. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including St Johns Cem and Wildwood Cem, alongside the small settlement of Dollymount in the southeastern corner. The map also documents local infrastructure ranging from a Gaging Station on the river to a rural Landing Strip.
