1959 Map of Detroit Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Detroit Lakes serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey, showing the community's development between the northern shore of Detroit Lake and the smaller Mud Lake. The town's layout is defined by the intersection of the Northern Pacific and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads, which facilitated its growth as a regional hub. Local educational infrastructure is well-represented with Washington Sch, Lincoln Sch, and the Jr High Sch all situated within the city grid, while Lake View Sch serves the southern outskirts.
