1971 Map of Coon Rapids South

About this map

Coon Rapids serves as the primary hub in this early 1970s survey, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the northern town limits. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Raccoon River and the South Raccoon River, which are fed by various springs and the elongated course of Brushy Creek. Rural life is marked by local civic and commemorative sites, including the Townhall in Orange township and the Tuttles Grove and Orange cemeteries. Industrial activity is concentrated near the river corridors, indicated by several gravel pits and infrastructure like the Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal plant. The map captures a detailed intersection of four counties — Carroll, Guthrie, Audubon, and Greene — illustrating the complex administrative boundaries of this agricultural region.
