About this map

The Mississippi River and Sauk River define this mid-1970s landscape, charting the expansion of St Cloud and its neighboring communities. The map captures the significant presence of institutional and religious landmarks that shaped local life, from the St Cloud State College campus along the riverbanks to a high concentration of parochial schools and cemeteries like St Joseph Cem and Sacred Heart Cem.

Industrial activity is evident in the numerous Quarry and Gravel Pits sites surrounding Waite Park, reflecting the region's granite-heavy geological character. To the south, the Beaver Islands create a complex riverine environment, while the developed parks and gardens, such as Munsinger Gardens and Talahi Park, indicate the city's focus on public green space. A purple overprint revision from 1993 highlights the further growth of suburban residential areas and commercial zones like the Apollo High Sch vicinity.
