1974 Map of Vermillion

About this map

The Mississippi River and Vermillion River define the hydrography of this Dakota County landscape, where agriculture and infrastructure meet the growing edges of Hastings and Rosemount. The village of Vermillion sits central to the sheet, located south of a Sewage Disposal plant and along the Old Grade Railroad. This 1974 survey, with revisions from 1991, captures the transition of the northern townships of Nininger and Vermillion as residential developments like Imperial Estates Park and Dakota Hills Park expand into the traditional grid of rural section roads.
