1954 Map of Bloomington

About this map

The Minnesota River valley serves as the central artery for this mid-1950s survey, marking the transition from the growing suburban developments of Richfield and Bloomington to the more open landscapes of Burnsville and Savage. Industrial activity is concentrated along the riverbanks at Port Cargill, where the Minneapolis Northfield and Southern railway connects with river commerce. This era shows a community in flux, with established institutions like the Minnesota Masonic Home and the Minnesota Valley Country Club standing alongside newer symbols of post-war expansion, such as the Drive-in Theater and numerous neighborhood schools like Westwood Sch.
