About this map

Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest dominates the eastern portion of this map, where the winding valleys of Wells Creek and Hay Creek carve through the landscape. The agrarian character of the region is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits and quarries that dot the hillsides, serving local infrastructure needs during this era of late-1960s development.

Transport history is preserved through the clearly marked Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the township of Goodhue. Community life in these rural townships is anchored by several local townhalls and St Johns Sch, while the small settlement of Belvidere Mills sits at a strategic creek crossing. The map also captures the outskirts of the village of Goodhue, including its Sewage Disposal plant and rail-adjacent industrial sites.
