About this map

Austin and Rochester anchor the northwestern and western edges of this mid-1980s landscape, where the agricultural plains of southern Minnesota meet the increasingly complex topography of the Driftless Area. The transition is marked by the Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest, covering the rugged drainage basins of the North Fork Root River and Middle Fork Root River. This era shows the region's transportation network in a state of change, with active lines like the Chicago and North Western operating alongside an Old RR Grade that hints at former corridors.
