About this map

The St Cloud Municipal Airport and the sprawling grounds of the State Reformatory anchor this mid-1970s landscape where the rural townships of Minden and Haven meet. The area is defined by the sharp diagonal of the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels the small settlement of Cable. This transport corridor cuts across a landscape heavily shaped by civil engineering and drainage, evidenced by the prominent network of the County Ditch 10 and County Ditch 17 systems.

Beyond the municipal infrastructure, the map reveals local cultural landmarks like the St Patricks Ch in St George and a Drive-in Theater situated south of the airport. The Elk River meanders through the eastern sections, providing a natural contrast to the industrial and extractive activity seen in the numerous Quarries and Gravel Pits concentrated near the St Cloud city limits and along the river banks.
