2009 Map of Minneapolis North

About this map

The Solomon River winds through the southwestern corner of this Ottawa County landscape, setting the stage for a region defined by its waterway network and agricultural grid. The city of Minneapolis serves as the primary anchor at the southern edge, showing a detailed street plan including Clay St, Pipe St, and E 10th St. To the north and west, smaller settlements like Summerville and the landing at Alfmil are connected by a methodical system of rural roads, such as N 110th Rd and Prairie Rd. Multiple tributaries, including West Pipe Creek, Pine Creek, and Lindsey Creek, cut across the section lines, illustrating how the natural drainage of the Kansas plains influenced the placement of farms and early homesteads. This map captures the transition from the organized urban center of Minneapolis to the open, creek-fed terrain of the surrounding townships.
