About this map

The confluence of the Minnesota River and the Chippewa River anchors this mid-century survey of western Minnesota. The city of Montevideo sits at the heart of the landscape, showing its mid-century civic infrastructure including the Courthouse, Hospital, and several local schools such as Ramsey Sch and Sibley Sch. The purple revision layers provide a comparative look at late 20th-century urban expansion, particularly around the Montevideo Airport and southern residential areas.

Rural life in the townships of Sparta and Tunsberg is defined by a dense network of country schools like School No 278 and several cemeteries, including Sunset Memorial Cemetery and Strombeck Cem. The river bottoms are marked by distinctive hydrological features such as Long Slough and Round Slough, while the small settlement of Wegdahl remains a point of interest at the southeastern corner where Boutlee Creek meets the river valley.
