About this map

The Minnesota River corridor serves as the primary geographical anchor for this 2022 survey, marking the transition between the urbanized Hennepin County suburbs and the river valley bottoms. The river's winding course separates Bloomington from Burnsville and Savage to the south, bordered by significant natural and industrial sites including Port Cargill and the expansive Long Meadow Lake area. This modern snapshot reveals the high density of the region's southern suburbs, characterized by a complex grid of major transit routes like American Blvd and the W Bloomington Fwy.

Cultural and institutional landmarks are prominent throughout the landscape, ranging from the hilltop of Mt Gilboa to established educational centers like Normandale Community College and Academy College. The map is particularly notable for its detailed recording of regional heritage sites, including the Bloomington Cem and several specialized burial grounds such as the United Hebrew Brotherhood Cem and B'Nai Emet Cem. These features, alongside named local water bodies like Marsh Lake and Penn Lake, provide a clear record of the area's developed suburban character and preserved wetlands.
