The Mississippi River defines the southern boundary of this suburban landscape, where the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area preserves the riparian corridor between Champlin and Brooklyn Park. The area is characterized by a dense network of residential developments such as Thompson Heights and Northdale, interspersed with numerous glacial lakes including Crooked Lake and Round Lake. Local history is anchored by sites like Joyce Chapel Cem and Epiphany Catholic Church Cem, while the industrial and residential growth of Coon Rapids is evident in the complex street grid. Water management is a prominent feature of the terrain, visible through the system of drainage works like County Ditch Number Thirtyseven and County Ditch Number Fiftyeight that cut through the townships of Andover and Ham Lake.
