1958 Map of Kerkhoven

About this map

Kerkhoven serves as the primary hub of this west-central Minnesota landscape, situated at the junction of several townships including Hayes, Pillsbury, and Louriston. The town's grid is oriented alongside the diagonal corridor of the Great Northern railroad, a transport artery that fundamentally shaped the development of the region's agricultural economy. This 1958 survey, with revisions from 1977, illustrates the town's expansion toward Hillside Cem and the surrounding rural infrastructure, which includes a network of local roads and an extensive pipeline.
