1969 Map of Wrightstown

About this map

Wrightstown anchors this landscape in the late 1960s, situated at the border of Otter Tail and Todd Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct named regions including Oak Valley, Tower Prairie, and Woodside, where the land is carved by the winding paths of South Bluff Creek and Oak Creek. This survey captures a rural community structured around local institutions, featuring the Townhall, Union Corner Ch, and the United Church. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Oak Ridge Cemetery and Wrightstown Cemetery. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the KWAD Radio Towers suggests the local industry and communication infrastructure of the era, while the small settlement of Lyman sits in the northwest corner, marking a quiet point of transition in this central Minnesota countryside.
