1966 Map of Jamestown

About this map

The James River corridor anchors this 1960s study of central North Dakota, dominated by the Jamestown Reservoir and the more recently developed Pipestem Lake. Within Jamestown, a dense concentration of civic and educational institutions is evident, including Jamestown College, St Johns Academy, and the sprawling State Hospital complex to the south. The map reflects a mid-century period of suburban expansion, highlighted by purple tinting that shows urban growth near the Shopping Center and new residential developments.
