1964 Map of New Ulm
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
New Ulm occupies the valley where the Minnesota River and Cottonwood River meet, shown here during a period of mid-century growth. The town's grid is dominated by landmarks such as Martin Luther College, Loretto Hospital, and the Hermann Monument overlooking the western bluffs. Along the southern edge, Flandrau State Park protects the winding path of the Lake Cottonwood reservoir. Transportation and industry are centered on the Chicago and North Western rail lines and the New Ulm Municipal Airport. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions to the agricultural townships of Lafayette and Courtland, where smaller settlements like Klossner and numerous rural schools, such as School No 1274, dot the prairie. The map records several cemeteries, including the Lutheran Cemetery, Catholic Cemetery, and St Josephs Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogical research.
