1965 Map of Oronoco

About this map

Oronoco sits at the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, positioned where the Middle Fork Zumbro River widens into the waters of Shady Lake. The area is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Dry Run, Pine Island Creek, and the South Branch Middle Fork Zumbro River, which carve through the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest. This survey captures the transition of the local economy and infrastructure, showing the Chicago Great Western railroad line cutting diagonally across the terrain, passing through the township of New Haven.
