1967 Map of Minneapolis South

About this map

Minneapolis and its southwestern neighbors undergo significant post-war expansion in this late 1960s survey, updated with purple photorevisions from the early 1970s. The urban fabric is defined by its famous chain of lakes, including Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, and Lake of the Isles, surrounded by established residential districts like Morningside and Edina Highlands. The industrial and transportation corridors of the Great Northern and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads intersect the grid, while the newly developed interstate system begins to reshape the movement of the Twin Cities.
