1961 Map of Wimbledon

About this map

Wimbledon sits at the junction of two distinct rail systems in the early 1960s, serving as a hub for the surrounding prairie townships. The Midland Continental and Soo Line railroads converge here, illustrating the town's historical importance as a transport node for the region's agricultural output. The landscape is defined by the glacial depressions of the Missouri River Basin, most notably the marshy expanse of Mud Lake to the southeast. Local history is anchored by St Boniface Cem and Prairie View Cem, which mark the community's early settlement foundations. Surrounding the town, the platting of Pierce and Uxbridge townships reveals a network of section lines and field boundaries established by the Geological Survey as part of the Missouri River Basin development program.
