About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates this 1967 landscape, showcasing the post-war suburban and industrial evolution of Dakota and Washington counties. Centered on Inver Grove Heights, the map captures the transition from agricultural land to residential developments, highlighted by purple-tinted urban extensions around South St Paul. The river valley features a complex network of backwaters and islands, including Grey Cloud Island and Lower Grey Cloud Island, alongside established riparian industrial sites at Pine Bend and Roseport.

Transport and education infrastructure reflect a growing community, with the South St Paul Municipal Airport and Simley High School serving the expanding population. Local history is preserved in landmarks like Salem Church Cem and Old Emmanuel Church, while the presence of the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads underscores the region's enduring role as a transit hub.
