1974 Map of Farmington

About this map

Farmington and Apple Valley show significant suburban expansion in the mid-1970s, evidenced by the dense grid of residential developments like Parkview School and Scott Highlands Park. The landscape is a mix of new civic infrastructure and the area's agricultural past, with numerous Gravel Pits scattered between growing neighborhoods and older landmarks like St Josephs Cemetery. Transportation routes define the region's character, from the historic Dodd Road to the modern Airlake Industrial Airport. The presence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad running through the heart of Farmington near the County Fairground highlights the transition from a rail-dependent rural hub to a modern industrial and residential corridor. Local genealogy is well-represented by several burial grounds, including Lakeville Grove Cemetery and St Michaels Cemetery.
