1985 Map of Saint Paul

About this map

Minneapolis and St Paul anchor this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the suburban expansion and protected corridors of the Twin Cities region. The confluence of the Mississippi River and Minnesota River at Pike Island serves as a geographic centerpiece, flanked by the sprawling Fort Snelling State Park and the extensive Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. While the urban core is densely developed around landmarks like Wold-Chamberlain Field, the western and southern reaches of the map retain a more pastoral character.
