About this map

The Mississippi River carves through this detailed 1967 portrait of St. Paul and its southeastern suburbs, showing the city's complex urban fabric before late-century transformations. Dense residential grids in St Paul are punctuated by a significant concentration of parochial institutions like Sacred Heart Sch and St Agnes Sch, alongside expansive public works such as the St Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field). The landscape is defined by its water and industry, where the river's bend cradles Raspberry Island and Harriet Island near the city center.

Suburban growth in Roseville and South St Paul is captured alongside massive green spaces and cemeteries, including the sprawling Oakland Cemetery and the lakeside Phalen Park. The presence of the Burlington Northern railroad and the Fish Hatchery near Pigs Eye Lake illustrates the working nature of the riverfront, while established medical landmarks like Gillette State Hospital serve the expanding community.
