1968 Map of Kenyon

About this map

The city of Kenyon serves as the primary hub on this late-1960s survey, where the North Fork Zumbro River and a complex rail junction meet. Two major lines, the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, cross paths here, reflecting the importance of agricultural transport in Goodhue County. Beyond the town center, the landscape is defined by the rural townships of Holden and Wanamingo, where long-standing community markers like the Holden Ch and Little Cannon Cem remain key landmarks. Smaller settlements like Nansen and Bombay appear as distinct crossroads, while the terrain's industrial utility is evidenced by a Quarry, a Gravel Pit, and a Sandpit scattered across the river valleys. This map provides a clear record of the area's mid-century rural infrastructure before modern highway developments and rail consolidations further altered the local geography.
