1967 Map of Minneapolis South

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Mississippi River industry and the evolving urban landscape of the Twin Cities define this mid-century period, showing the transition from a rail-heavy river economy to the era of interstate expansion. The northern edge highlights the power of St Anthony Falls and the complex rail networks of the Great Northern and Milwaukee and St Paul, which served the flour milling and manufacturing districts. South of downtown, the residential character of the city is anchored by the Chain of Lakes, including Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet, flanked by significant sites like Lakewood Cemetery. The map also captures the sprawling growth of western and southern suburbs such as St Louis Park and Edina, where modern infrastructure like the Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport and the newly developed Southdale shopping center began to reshape the region’s geography.
