1967 Map of Pipestone North

About this map

Pipestone National Monument anchors the southern edge of this Minnesota landscape, preserving the sacred catlinite quarries used by Plains tribes for centuries. The surrounding terrain is a grid of agricultural townships including Altona, Troy, and Grange, where the upper reaches of the North Branch Pipestone Creek wind through prairie lands. The city of Pipestone serves as the regional hub, its growth and layout shaped by a junction of major rail lines, including the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific. Conservation areas such as the Troy State Wildlife Management Area and the Pipestone Indian State Wildlife Management Area indicate a long-standing local commitment to preserving native wetlands and prairie habitats alongside the intensive farming operations and numerous Gravel Pits that supported the local infrastructure during the late 1960s.
