Title
Minnesota School District Boundaries, 1972 [Minnesota]
Description
This resource contains a geodatabase compiling school district boundaries in Minnesota, as they stood in 1972. While the exact origin of this data is unknown, it is believed to be created against the "Atlas of Minnesota School Districts", written by Branko Colakovic at Mankato State College. Georeferenced TIF images of that atlas are available in the resource titled “Minnesota School District Boundary Atlas, 1972”. Since many school districts have consolidated or dissolved since 1972, the boundaries shown should not be considered current. Related historical and current school district boundaries available on the Minnesota Geospatial Commons can be compared to these images to visualize those changes over time. See the lineage section for small alterations and processes performed to prepare this resource for publication and use., Provide historical context for school district boundaries in Minnesota, as of 1972., This dataset is historical and reflects boundaries as understood in 1972.
