1957 Map of Huron

About this map

Huron serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showcasing a dense network of civic and educational institutions such as Huron College, City Hall, and numerous neighborhood schools like McKinley Sch and Washington Sch. The city’s development is framed by the C & NW and Chicago and North Western railroads, which facilitated its growth as a regional hub. To the north, the State Fairground occupies a significant portion of the landscape, while the James River meanders southward past Morningside and the Riverside Cemetery.
