1967 Map of Truman SE

About this map

The agricultural landscape of south-central Minnesota is defined here by a sophisticated network of drainage infrastructure, with Judicial Ditch No 85, Judicial Ditch No 82, and Judicial Ditch No 116 channeling water across the township boundaries of Pleasant Mound, Nashville, and Westford. This 1967 survey reveals the quiet hubs of rural life, anchored by Nashville Center and the Townhall, while the Nashville Cem and Brainard Ch mark established community landmarks. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the meandering course of Elm Creek contrasts with the rigid geometry of the surrounding section lines and a prominent Pipeline. Economic activity is visible through a scattered Landing Strip and industrial Gravel Pits in the northeast, providing a clear view of the region's mid-century rural development and land use patterns.
