1982 Map of Thornton
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Menominee Indian Reservation and the Stockbridge-Munsee Indian Reservation Boundary anchor the northern landscape of this 1982 map. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Red River and Wolf River, where several distinctive cataracts such as Freeman Falls, Gilmer Falls, and Little Bull Falls highlight the river's descent. The map reveals a rural community structured around local landmarks and faith, including St Jakobi Ch and Salem Ch, each with its corresponding cemetery. Transport and industry in the area are represented by the crossing lines of the Chicago and North Western and Soo Line railroads, which intersect near the small settlement of Thornton. This detailed view from the early 1980s preserves the spatial relationship between the indigenous reservation lands and the surrounding agricultural townships of Richmond and Belle Plaine.
