1952 Map of Redwood Falls

About this map

Redwood Falls serves as the hub of this 1952 survey, situated at the confluence where the Redwood River joins the Minnesota River. The landscape is defined by the deeply incised river valleys and a dense network of early rural infrastructure, including numerous schoolhouses like School No 8 and School No 71. Of particular historical interest is the Lower Sioux Indian Community in the southeast and the Alexander Ramsey State Park adjacent to the city center. The map details the transition of the region's transport economy, showing the Chicago and North Western rail lines alongside established river settlements like Beaver Falls and North Redwood. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of country churches and cemeteries, such as Bethany Ch and Calgary Cem, which anchored the surrounding townships of Emmet and Flora during the mid-twentieth century.
