1953 Map of Arnold

About this map

Arnold anchors the southern portion of this St. Louis County survey, appearing as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships of Gnesen, Normanna, Rice Lake, and Lakewood. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several prominent waterways, including the Lester River, the East Branch Amity Creek, and the French River, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward the Great Lakes basin. The 1950s cultural footprint is marked by community infrastructure such as the Town Hall, Gnesen Sch, and Lakewood Sch, reflecting the localized organization of these townships during the mid-twentieth century.
