About this map

Devils Lake and Dry Lake dominate the northern plains landscape of Ramsey County in this mid-2010s survey. The settlement of Grand Harbor serves as a focal point near the southwestern shore of Dry Lake, connected to the wider region by the prominent corridor of Us-2. This highway cuts diagonally across the terrain, passing through the small community of Darby and skirting the edge of Sixmile Bay.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Grand Harbor Cem situated just west of the main settlement, a primary landmark for the area's rural history. The map's grid of section roads, including 77th Ave NE and 53rd St NE, illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the territory surrounding these large bodies of water. The elevation data reveals the subtle shifts in the lake-dotted prairie, marking the transition from open water to the developed lands along ND-20.
