Minnehaha Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, connecting the expansive Lake Minnetonka at Grays Bay to the historic settlement of Minnetonka Mills. This modern survey reveals the dense suburban development of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, where established neighborhoods like Hopkins and Plymouth are integrated with numerous glacial lakes and wetlands. The map clearly delineates the complex transportation corridors that define the region, including the CP Rail line and major thoroughfares like Excelsior Blvd. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of legacy sites such as Parkers Lake Cem, Shady Oak Lake Cem, and Saint Margaret Cem. The topography shows how residential growth has adapted to the natural hydrography of Medicine Lake, Bryant Lake, and the winding course of Purgatory Cr.
