1964 Map of Sleepy Eye NW

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Minnesota River carves a deep valley across this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a natural boundary for Nicollet, Renville, and Brown counties. The river's winding oxbows and floodplains contrast sharply with the straight lines of the Judicial Ditch No 13 and other drainage projects on the surrounding agricultural plateaus. A significant portion of the map is dedicated to Fort Ridgely State Park, a site of immense regional significance, featuring the Fort Ridgely Monument and traces of the Old Fort Road. Local rural life is anchored by small institutions like St Johns Ch, Bethel Ch, and School No 185. Near the valley floor, the Golden Gate Cem and various Gravel Pits indicate both the commemorative and industrial layers of the Cairo and Ridgely townships.
