1965 Map of Westport
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Westport sits along the Northern Pacific railroad line in this mid-1960s survey of central Minnesota. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, where a series of water bodies including Westport Lake, Swan Lake, and Ellen Lake are linked by managed water systems such as Judicial Ditch No 6 and Ashley Creek. This intricate drainage network reveals the era's focus on land management for both agriculture and conservation, particularly evident in the Tower State Wildlife Management Area near the border of Pope and Stearns counties. Beyond the village center, the map identifies several gravel pits and a local communications landmark, the Radio Tower (KCMT), providing a look at the rural infrastructure and resource extraction supporting the local economy during this period of the twentieth century.
