1997 Map of Bloomington
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Bloomington and its neighboring suburbs of Edina, Richfield, and Burnsville are shown here as a mature metropolitan landscape in the late 1990s. The map illustrates a densely developed residential and commercial region, anchored by the massive Southtown Shopping Center and a complex web of highway interchanges. To the south, the industrial and transport infrastructure follows the Minnesota River, featuring the grain terminals of Port Cargill and the sprawling Black Dog Lake cooling pond for the nearby powerplant. This area serves as a stark transition between the suburban sprawl and the protected wetlands of the Minnesota Valley. Significant institutional landmarks are present, including the Minnesota Masonic Home and the Minnesota Valley Country Club, while local history is preserved at the Bloomington Cem and the Pleasant View Mem Gardens.
