MAPS The Wilson Library of the University of Minnesota has the most complete collection of maps for the state. Their web address is:
“Map Collections in the Wilson Library” [Internet site] Minneapolis, Minn.: University of Minnesota, 2000 [cited 27 January 2000]. Available at: www.lib.umn.edu/wilsonlib/maps.html.
The Minnesota Historical Society Library also has an extensive map collection, and the Family History Library has a few maps that can aid your research. Two atlases, An Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Minnesota and Bakeman’s A Comprehensive Index to A. T. Andreas’ Illustrated Historical Atlas of Minnesota—1874, are both cited in the “Biography” section of this outline.
A bibliography of available county atlases is in:
Treude, Mai. Windows to the Past: A Bibliography of Minnesota County Atlases. Minneapolis, Minn.: University of Minnesota Press, 1980. (FHL book 977.6 E73t; computer number 112353.) It indicates whether copies of individual atlases are at the Library of Congress or at archives or libraries in Minnesota.
A guide to the history of Minnesota’s counties and boundary changes has also been published:
Long, John H., ed. Historical Atlas and Chronology of County Boundaries 1788–1980. Volume 5: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota. Boston, Mass.: G. K. Hall, 1984. (FHL book 973 E7hL v.5; fiche 6051430 [set of six]; computer number 304297.) Shows when and where each county changed boundaries.
