Map of Nicollet County, Minnesota, 1885. Cover names Haynes & Woodard as the publishers. The book contains 22 pages of color maps of all 13 Nicollet County townships. This is one of two versions of this atlas in the collection of the Nicollet County Historical Society. Some of the individual township maps have been cut into two sections in order to attach them to blank pages. Some of the individual township maps of the second atlas have been presented in a different manner than those found in this atlas. Some of the maps in the second atlas have been folded. Because of the cuts and folds, the use of both atlases is required in order to be able to read all of the names of the rural property owners.

Description:
The Bureau of Mines created this map to study Canadian geologic details as well as locations of Indian reserves. From Sturgeon River on the west to Potato Lake on the east. And from Kah-petogamak Lake on the south to Crow Lake on the north. There is much detail in identified land plots (or allotments?) around Bad Vermillion Lake and south of Little Turtle Lake. It projects the route of the Ontario and Rainy River Railway. Its geologic legend tells of soil and rock types. This is a map of Ernest Oberholtzer's home watershed and made a full decade before he arrived to canoe it. Shows water levels before the dam at International Falls.
