1979 Map of Wing
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Wing anchors the southern portion of this northern prairie landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and water bodies, including Mitchell Lake, Camel Slough, and Lonetree Lake, reflecting the region's importance for wildlife conservation. Significant land is dedicated to the Bunker Lake State Game Management Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the intersection of local agriculture and natural resource management. Elevated terrain such as Haystack Butte and Rock Hill provide orientation points amidst the complex hydrology of Bunker Lake and Horseshoe Lake. Small-scale infrastructure like the Patterson Landing Field and a Boat Ramp on Mitchell Lake indicate the area's utility for both light aviation and local recreation during the late 1970s.
