1979 Map of White Lake

About this map

White Lake serves as the primary hub of this Aurora County landscape, positioned along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The late 1970s environment is defined by its numerous prairie potholes and water bodies, including Luxemberger Lake, Schmitz Lake, and Scott Lake. This topography is heavily managed for conservation and recreation, evidenced by several designated National Waterfowl Production Areas and the Kramer Slough State Public Shooting Area. South of the town center, the Crystal Lake Cem marks a point of interest for genealogists, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and several Well sites indicate the local extraction and water management practices of the era. The mapping also details the modern infrastructure of Interstate 90, which bypasses the town to the south with a dedicated Rest Area.
