1967 Map of New Brighton

About this map

The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant dominates the northern landscape of this suburban Minnesota region, reflecting the significant military-industrial footprint in the area during the mid-20th century. Suburban expansion is visible across New Brighton, Mounds View, and Arden Hills, with newer urban developments highlighted in purple revisions. Transport and logistics are anchored by the Soo Line and Burlington Northern railroads, which weave through a lakeland terrain featuring Lake Johanna, Turtle Lake, and Lake Owasso. Education and institutional history are well-represented by Bethel Seminary, Nazareth Hall, and numerous regional schools. This survey captures a moment of transition where industrial sites, such as sandpits and the Twin City Speedway, coexist with expanding residential neighborhoods and established local burial grounds like Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery and Roselawn Cem.
