1954 Map of Eden Prairie

About this map

The Minnesota River carves a deep valley across this mid-century landscape, separating the developing uplands of Eden Prairie and Bloomington from the rural reaches of Eagle Creek to the south. In the years following World War II, this region remained a transition between agricultural land and growing suburban centers like Edina. The map preserves the locations of several educational and religious landmarks, including the Eden Prairie Church, Eden Prairie Cemetery, and two structures marked as School No 1 and School No 5.
