1967 Map of Jasper

About this map

Jasper sits at the nexus of the Minnesota and South Dakota border, a landscape defined by the winding course of Split Rock Creek and the industrial activity of the late 1960s. The village is anchored by the Great Northern railroad line, which facilitated the local extractive economy evidenced by a nearby Quarry and Gravel Pit. The map captures a high degree of cadastral detail, with fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field divisions across the rural townships of Rosedale and Springwater. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Rosendal Cem and St Joseph Cem, alongside the small settlement of Sherman to the south. This survey illustrates the intricate boundary relationships between four counties—Moody, Pipestone, Minnehaha, and Rock—meeting near the confluence of Pipestone Creek and the primary waterways.
