1965 Map of Pine Island

About this map

Pine Island sits at the convergence of several townships and counties, serving as a regional hub where the Middle Fork Zumbro River and North Branch wind through the landscape. The mid-1960s geography is defined by the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor and a series of agricultural and forestry boundaries, including the Minnesota State Forest. Evidence of rural community life is scattered throughout the neighboring townships of Roscoe, Milton, and New Haven, where the presence of the Townhall, County Line Cem, and St Michael Cem point to established local heritage.
