1967 Map of Kimball

About this map

Kimball (Kimball Prairie) serves as the central hub of this Central Minnesota landscape, situated at a junction of the Soo Line railroad. The town's mid-century character is defined by a mix of traditional and modern landmarks, from the Kimball Cem and St Annes Cem to the Drive-in Theater and Kimball Airport. The surrounding topography is a dense network of glacial water bodies, including School Section Lake, Carnelian Lake, and Lake Betsy, many of which are connected by the Clearwater River. Local industry and recreation are evident through numerous gravel pits and the presence of Ski Lifts on the prairie slopes. The map also captures the convergence of Stearns, Meeker, and Wright counties, reflecting the intricate political and natural boundaries of the Maine Prairie and Fairhaven regions during the late 1960s.
