1974 Map of Utica

About this map

The Chicago and North Western corridor defines the northern landscape of this region, connecting the primary settlements of Utica and Lewiston. This mid-1970s survey reveals a balanced environment of agricultural development and conservation, particularly within the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest, which occupies the central and southern reaches. Small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout, including Clyde and Fremont, providing critical reference points for genealogists. The map also documents industrial and infrastructure remnants like an Old Railroad Grade and various quarries. Notable local institutions such as the Scottish Ch and several burial grounds including Mt Auburn Cem and Worth Cem anchor the community history of the southern townships.
