1959 Map of Viking

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The town of Viking sits as a primary rail hub along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie line in this Northwestern Minnesota landscape. The map details a transition between township boundaries and natural drainage, where the South Branch Snake River meanders through the western section of the quadrangle. Local civic life is anchored by the Town Hall and the rural junction at Carpenters Corner, reflecting a mid-century agricultural and transportation network. Infrastructure supporting the area includes a prominent Radio Tower and Pumping Station, while several extractive sites like a Gravel Pit and a large Pit near the river signify the local importance of aggregate materials for road building and maintenance during this era.
