Description
This detailed city plan of Minneapolis, Minnesota was compiled by Frank Nutter, Jr. and published locally by the Hudson Publishing Company in 1911. Based on an advertisement on the verso and a small area of old adhesive, it’s likely that it was originally issued in a guidebook or as a pocket map.
The emphasis is clearly on local transportation. Apart from a distinctly legible street grid, the image boldly depicts steam railroads (black) and streetcar lines (red hashes). The latter comprise a portion of the St. Paul/Minneapolis interurban transit network, with a number of various connecting cities noted in the margins.
Various outdoor spaces like parks and common areas are highlighted in green. Many are connected by a robust assortment of shaded boulevards and parkways draped like a necklace around the city.
