Shrinking towns too small to grow, too tough to die By Sue Halena - Staff Writer Old schoolyard swings are motionless and the plaintive cries of a mourning dove break the silence so typical of a summer morning in Spring Hill. The quiet streets confirm statistics from remote Census Bureau offices: This is a shrinking and aging town, one of dozens in Minnesota that could slip away if trends of the 1990s continue. Almost 18 percent of Central Minnesota's 74 cities lost more than 10 percent of their population in the past decade, while the ratio was 13 percent statewide. Of the 13 cities in Benton, Stearns, Sherburne, Morrison and Wright counties that lost more than 10 percent, three stand out for their lack of youths as well as for their rapid decline in overall population.

Minnesota - Geography Upper midwestern state of the United States. It is bordered by Lake Superior and Wisconsin (E), Iowa (S), South Dakota and North Dakota (W), and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario (N). Except for Alaska, Minnesota is the most northerly of all the states (reaching lat. 49°23'55"N). The climate is humid continental. Winter locks the land in snow; spring is brief and summers are hot. Prehistoric glaciers left marshes, boulder-strewn hills, and rich, gray drift soil stretching from the northern pine wilderness to the broad southern prairies. In the eastern part of the state are mountains from which iron ore is decreasingly extracted. The Vermilion and Cuyuna ranges (discovered in 1884 and 1911) are virtually depleted, and the once rich Mesabi iron range (1890) has seen major decline. South of the iron country, famous for its oldtime raw boom towns, lie rolling hills. In the south and the west are prairies, the fertile farming country of Minnesota. The state has more than 11,000 lakes and numerous streams and rivers. The rivers feed three great river systems: the Red River of the north and its tributaries in the west run north to Hudson Bay; the streams that run east into Lake Superior eventually flow into the St. Lawrence; and the Mississippi flows south from its sluggish beginning in Minnesota in Lake Itasca, gathering volume from the waters of the St. Croix and Minnesota rivers before leaving the state. Two nuclear power plants, at Prairie Island and Monticello, were built in the 1970s.

    Geography Rivers are the outstanding geographic features of the five Minnesota counties (Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Dakota and Washington) included in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Here the Mississippi pours over the only waterfall in its entire length and is joined by the Minnesota River from the west and the St. Croix from the northeast. A lock now brings watercraft past the Falls of St. Anthony to the upper harbor, in downtown Minneapolis.
    The Falls of St. Anthony, given its present name by French missionary Louis Hennepin, is shown in this painting by the artist Henry Lewis as it looked in the 1840s.
    Prized by Euro-Americans for its water power, the falls became a saw-milling center and the nucleus of an industrial city in the 1850s. Drawing from Harpers Monthly Vol. XXX No. 1534.
    In the 1870s and 1880s sawmills at the falls gave way to flour mills, and Minneapolis became famous as the world's breadbasket. Drawing from Harpers Monthly Vol. XXX No. 1534.
    Below the falls, the banks of the river rise steeply, forming a narrow gorge, and it is joined by Minnehaha Creek. This stream rises in a cluster of lakes to the west of Minneapolis. As it approaches the Mississippi, it pours over a scenic waterfall.
