The Minnesota River bottomlands dominate the southern half of this map, creating a complex network of wetlands and backwaters including Blue Lake, Fisher Lake, and Grass Lake. These lowlands serve as a natural boundary between Eden Prairie and Shakopee, where the Minnesota River Trail and Minnesota Valley State Trail trace the corridor. The higher ground to the north and south reveals a densely developed suburban landscape, punctuated by older landmarks like Eden Prairie Cem and Hill Cem. High-traffic infrastructure like Flying Cloud Airport and the commercial hubs of Bloomington contrast with preserved natural features like Boiling Springs and the winding course of Purgatory Creek. This area illustrates the transition from river-centered industry, evidenced by the Bloomington Ferry site and the Barden rail stop, to modern residential and educational centers such as the Hennepin Technical College - Eden Prairie Campus.
