1967 Map of Minneapolis South

About this map

The Mississippi River anchors the northeastern corner of this urban landscape, where the core of Minneapolis gives way to a sprawling network of residential neighborhoods and prominent parklands. The city's famous Chain of Lakes is a central focus, featuring the connected waters of Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, and Lake Harriet, flanked by established institutions like Lakewood Cemetery and the Minikahda Golf Course. This mid-century view captures the heavy development of southern suburbs, including St Louis Park, Edina, and Richfield, all tied together by a dense grid of surface streets and emerging freeway corridors.
