1954 Map of Albert Lea

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Albert Lea sits at the heart of a complex hydrologic and transit network in southern Minnesota, where the Shell Rock River and a series of glacial lakes shaped the development of Freeborn County. The landscape in the 1950s was defined by the confluence of four major rail lines, including the Illinois Central and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, which fueled the growth of surrounding townships like Bancroft and Riceland. This survey captures the era's agricultural and civic infrastructure, from the Albert Lea Municipal Airport to numerous rural schoolhouses such as Jeklyn Sch and Hammer Sch.
