Five Aerial Photos of Atikokan, 1950's and later.

O'Brien Street runs diagonally from the bottom of the photo and across the Atikokan River. Note the two bridges -- the small original bridge is at the right with the new bridge being built beside it. The Rockton Hotel is in place (I remember when they trucked it in pieces from Steep Rock) but neither the Hudson's Bay, Chapels, or the Atikokan Progress, among many others, have yet been built


Looking from west to east with Main Street running from bottom left to top centre. The old original townsite is at the far right near the roundhouse. The curling rink is the large building at the far left. The O'Brien St. bridge can also be seen further up, running off the left edge.


Don Park was the first large housing subdivision, situated at the north-west end of town. Most of the curling rink can be seen at the far right edge, near the bottom.


This looks like an earlier postcard, possibly 1950. I can't examine the card as I grabbed this image from the internet, but it looks like most of the buildings on Main Street haven't yet been built.


Don Park is at the bottom of this postcard photo which may have been taken in the 1960's, but I can't see anything distinctive to date it.
