1970 Map of Windom
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Des Moines River flows through the Great Bend, anchoring the city of Windom at a time when the Chicago and North Western railroad still connected the town to the broader Minnesota prairie. This 1970 field check captures the community’s infrastructure, from the St Francis Xavier Ch and Highland Sch to the local Hospital and Radio Towers (KDOM). The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring a series of large water bodies like Cottonwood Lake, Fish Lake, and Summit Lake. Beyond the urban core, the map detail extends into the townships of Delafield and Christiania, revealing a rural network of Gravel Pits and scattered country institutions such as Bethany Ch. Conservation areas, including the Banks State Wildlife Management Area, highlight the efforts to preserve the marshlands and lake shores that dot the terrain.
