1967 Map of Huntley

About this map

The Blue Earth River meanders through the eastern portion of this Faribault County landscape, defining the topography of Verona and Prescott townships. The agricultural character of the late 1960s is evidenced by an extensive drainage network, including Judicial Ditch No 60 and Judicial Ditch No 4, which support the productive prairie land between the river and Center Creek. In the northwest, the settlement of Huntley sits along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line, while Guckeen serves as a southern hub on the Chicago and North Western tracks. Local heritage is preserved at sites like West Verona Cem and Verona Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research. The map also captures a moment of transition for regional infrastructure, noting a Proposed Location for a major divided highway spanning the center of the quadrangle.
