1951 Map of St. Paul SW

About this map

The Minnesota River carves a wide, marshy valley through the heart of this landscape, separating the developing Village of Richfield and Bloomington from the rural expanses of Eagan and Burnsville. In the north, the massive Fort Snelling Reservation and its adjacent Fort Snelling National Cemetery dominate the high ground near the river's bend. This mid-century view shows a region on the cusp of suburban transformation, where traditional rural markers like School No 104 and the settlement at Nicols still persist alongside major infrastructure like the Cedar Ave Bridge and the sprawling Power Plant on the riverbank.
