About this map

Little Falls serves as the primary urban center in this 1970s landscape, positioned along the banks of the Mississippi River. The map illustrates a region defined by its connection to the water and early transportation routes, featuring the Charles A Lindbergh State Park and the expansive Zebulon Pike Lake. The settlement of Sobieski anchors the western portion of the quadrangle, while the local infrastructure is highlighted by the Burlington Northern railroad and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the area's evolving transport network.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through landmarks like the Our Lady of Lourdes Cem and the Lincoln Sch. The rural character of Green Prairie is punctuated by numerous gravel pits and small water bodies such as Twin Lakes and Mud Lake. This survey captures the transition from the structured street grid of the city to the meandering course of the Swan River, providing a detailed look at Morrison County's physical and cultural geography.
