1974 Map of Mankato East

About this map

The expanding city of Mankato serves as the focal point of this 1974 survey, illustrating the rapid mid-century growth of its educational and transportation infrastructure. The map details the dual footprints of Mankato State College, showing the transition of the institution across the local landscape. Transportation networks are prominent, including the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor and the Mankato Municipal Airport. To the east, the community of Eagle Lake sits near its namesake water body, while the Le Sueur River carves through the southern terrain near the small settlement of Tivoli. This record preserves the location of numerous civic landmarks, from Immanuel Hospital to the sprawling grounds of Glenwood Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, alongside industrial features like the Quarry near the Lime township border.
