2019 Map of Hamel

About this map

Lake Medina and the surrounding wetland landscape of eastern Hennepin County dominate this 2019 survey, showing the complex hydrology that shapes local development. The map reveals a transition from suburban residential expansion to the east in Maple Grove and Plymouth toward the more open, lake-dotted terrain of Corcoran and Medina. Family and parish history is anchored by several long-established sites, including Saint Thomas Cem and Saint Janes Cem, reflecting the area's rural religious roots. A network of managed waterways, such as County Ditch Number Sixty and County Ditch Number Three, illustrate the historical effort to control the local watershed for agricultural and residential use. Notable private aviation is marked at Kral's Personal Use Landing Field, while the numerous basins like Weaver Lake and Mooney Lake continue to define the community's layout and recreation.
