About this map

St Paul centers this urban landscape during a period of significant postwar growth, dominated by the winding course of the Mississippi River. The downtown core is defined by landmarks such as the St Paul Cathedral and the St Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field), while the riverfront is characterized by industrial activity and natural features like Raspberry Island and Harriet Island. To the south, the Stockyards in South St Paul reflect the city's role as a major regional processing hub, flanked by the sprawling Pigs Eye Lake and its associated sewage disposal works.

Institutional and communal history is deeply etched into the street grid through numerous parochial schools like St Agnes Sch and St Joseph Academy, along with expansive grounds for the Gillette State Hospital and Indian Mounds Park. This edition captures the city's infrastructure at a crossroads, showing established neighborhoods in West St Paul and Roseville alongside the massive footprints of the Chicago and North Western and other major rail lines that fueled the local economy.
