1952 Map of Minneapolis North

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Mississippi River divides the growing suburban landscape of northern Hennepin and Anoka Counties in this early 1950s survey. The west bank is characterized by the rapid post-war expansion of Robbinsdale, Crystal, and Brooklyn Center, where residential grids are interrupted by several prominent bodies of water including Crystal Lake and the Twin Lakes. This era captures a transition from agricultural roots to industrial and residential development, evidenced by the presence of the Northern Ordnance Plant and the Crystal Airport.
