1994 Map of Grand Harbor

About this map

The settlement of Grand Harbor serves as a focal point in this portion of Ramsey County, situated along a transportation corridor that cuts through a landscape defined by glacial activity. The prairie pothole region is on full display here, with numerous wetlands and basins including Dry Lake and the oddly named Sew Disk Pond. Much of the eastern terrain is occupied by the Freshwater marshes and a dedicated National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the conservation efforts prevalent in the late 20th century. For those tracing local history, the Grand Harbor Cem and the small siding at Darby provide specific geographical anchors for the area's rural development. To the south, the waters of Sixmile Bay reach into the quadrangle, marking the transition toward the larger Devils Lake basin.
