1974 Map of Cannon Falls
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Cannon River waters dominate the southern portion of this landscape, widening into Lake Byllesby as it approaches the city of Cannon Falls. This mid-1970s survey illustrates a region defined by its transition from the agricultural plateaus of Hampton and Douglas townships into the wooded bluffs of the Richard J Dorer State Hardwood Forest. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the Chicago and North Western railroad and several arterial roads like Northfield Blvd and Goodwin Avenue. Local life is anchored by small communities such as New Trier and Hampton, while recreation areas like Lake Byllesby County Park and the Cannon Country Club suggest the area's development beyond simple grain farming. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include Zion Cem and Lakeside Cem, along with the rural Townhall located centrally in the township.
