About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this 1970s landscape, flowing past the city of Little Falls. The urban center is highly detailed, showing civic landmarks like the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Library, alongside numerous educational and religious institutions including St Francis High Sch and Our Lady of Lourdes Sch. South of the city, the Little Falls-Morrison Co Airport and a Drive-in Theater represent the era's infrastructure and leisure patterns.

Industrial and agricultural signatures are visible through several Gravel Pits and the extensive rail network of the Burlington Northern and Soo Line. Natural conservation areas such as the Popple Lake State Wildlife Management Area sit alongside smaller water bodies like Bullhead Lake and Stud Lake. To the south, the river widens into Zebulon Pike Lake near the settlement of Gregory, where the terrain transitions toward the Platte River valley.
