About this map

The Marshall municipal area dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape transitioning through infrastructure projects and mid-century growth. The Redwood River meanders across the territory, diverted north of the city center by a Diversion Canal designed to manage the watershed's flow through the town. This era shows the local economy and social fabric anchored by the Chicago and North Western and Great Northern railroads, which intersect near the heart of the city near the Courthouse and Po.

Civic life is well-documented through landmarks such as the Fairground, a Drive-in Theater, and the Marshall Airport. Educational and religious sites like Central High Sch and Calvary Cem provide critical touchpoints for genealogists. The outlying areas of Grandview, Fairview, and Lynd show a pattern of rural sections punctuated by industrial sites like the Gravel Pit and the broadcast presence of the Radio Tower (KMHL).
