1974 Map of Mankato East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Mankato expansion characterizes this mid-1970s landscape, where the growing city is captured across both the Valley Campus and the Highland Campus. The urban grid transitions into the glacial lake plains of eastern Blue Earth County, featuring prominent water bodies like Wita Lake and Eagle Lake. Significant infrastructure supporting this growth is evident, including the Mankato Municipal Airport and a network of railroads such as the Chicago and North Western. This period represents a point in time when traditional industry and modern education coexisted, with a Quarry and Gravel Pit operating near established institutions like Bethany College. The southern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Le Sueur River and the small settlement of Tivoli, while the northern reaches touch Lake Washington.
