Description:
This 1969 General Highway Map of Cook County with Dr. Willis Raff's added locations of abandoned railroads, river driving dams, sawmills and rafting points is one of three maps that, together, cover all of Cook County. Includes hand-written notations by noted historian Dr. Willis Raff.
From the map: "The location of dominating features of the report are shown, namely, the Main Axes, the Circumferential Rings, the Civic Administrative and Transportation Centers, the River Front, and the Park System. The last named largely exists, as shown by green color; orange represents proposed parks, parkways or playgrounds. The function of the City Plan of Minneapolis is the logical completion of the existing system." This map corresponds with the published book, Plan of Minneapolis, prepared under the direction of the Civic commission, MCMXVII, by Edward H. Bennett, architect, 227 pages, 1917.

A map showing the community of McQuiston's Addition to Le Hillier City, including streets, lots, and blocks. The Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers are included. The town was to be located in Section 14, T108N, R27W of Nicollet County, Minnesota. Surveyor C. A. Chapman certified the plat of the proposed community in June of 1858. This town did not survive the severe economic downturn that began in 1857 that affected the entire United States and the Territory of Minnesota. It can now be regarded as part of Lost Minnesota.
