About this map

St Paul sits at the heart of this urban landscape, where the Mississippi River bends around Raspberry Island and Harriet Island. The 1967 survey data, updated with late 1970s revisions, shows a dense network of neighborhoods across Roseville, Maplewood, and West St Paul. The industrial and transportation identity of the riverfront is clear, with the St Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field) and the sprawling Pigs Eye Lake basin dominating the southeastern quadrant.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of these communities through numerous religious and educational institutions, such as St Paul Cathedral, St Casimir Sch, and Holy Trinity Sch. The preservation of green spaces is evident in the established grounds of Phalen Park and Indian Mounds Park, while the city's older sections are anchored by Oakland Cemetery and Forest Lawn Cemetery. The map also captures the complex rail infrastructure of the Northern Pacific and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads that once defined the regional commerce.
