1967 Map of Eden Prairie

About this map

The Minnesota River carves a deep valley through this landscape, defining the border between Hennepin and Scott counties. While the northern reaches show the expanding residential footprints of Eden Prairie, Edina, and Bloomington, the river bottoms remain a complex of wetlands including Grass Lake, Blue Lake, and Fisher Lake. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the transition from traditional river crossings like Bloomington Ferry to the industrial presence of the Flying Cloud Airport and several active quarries and gravel pits.
