1956 Map of Belle Prairie

About this map

Camp Ripley Military Reservation dominates the western bank of the Mississippi River in this mid-century survey of Morrison County. The river corridor is defined by an intricate network of named islands, including Topeka Islands, Ducette Island, and Roscoe Island, illustrating the seasonal variability of the channel before major modern stabilization. Along the eastern shore, the Northern Pacific railroad facilitates transport through the settlements of Topeka, Camp Ripley Junction, and Belle Prairie. The landscape transitions from the structured military airfield and Argonne Road to the wetlands of Mud Lake and the Ereaux State Wildlife Management Area. Rural schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 117 are scattered across the townships, marking the educational centers of this agricultural and military-adjacent community.
