1965 Map of Le Roy

About this map

Le Roy sits at a critical rail intersection in southern Minnesota, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago Great Western railroads converge just north of the Iowa border. The town’s grid is defined by its industrial and educational hubs, including the High Sch and several large Gravel Pits and a Quarry near the municipal boundary. To the west, the landscape is shaped by the Upper Iowa River, which widens into Lake Louise within the boundaries of Lake Louise State Park. This mid-1960s survey also identifies several local burial grounds essential for genealogical research, such as St Patricks Cem, Le Roy Cem, and the Lutheran Cem. The map even captures a small Landing Strip south of the river, reflecting the region's mid-century aviation infrastructure alongside its long-standing agricultural and rail foundations.
