1961 Map of Elk River

About this map

The confluence of the Elk River and the Mississippi River anchors this 1961 survey, which captures the community of Elk River as it balanced its riverfront industry with residential expansion. The presence of a Powerplant, Gaging Sta, and Sewage Disposal facility near the river banks reflects the city's role as a local utility and infrastructure hub. Cultural and civic life is centered around local institutions like the Jr High Sch, High Sch, and several religious sites, including St Andrews Cem and Orono Cem.
