About this map

Minnetonka Mills sits at a historical crux where Minnehaha Creek flows eastward from the extensive waters of Grays Bay. This late-century revision documents the rapid suburban transformation of Hennepin County, where once-isolated settlements like Oak Knoll, Groveland, and Glen Lake have become woven into the expanding metropolitan fabric. Significant institutional presence is noted at the Glen Lake State Sanatorium and the Workhouse near Parker Lake, reflecting the diverse land use of the era.

The landscape is characterized by its numerous water bodies, from the sprawling Medicine Lake in the north to Bryant Lake in the south. The mapping of St Louis Park and Edina shows a dense network of residential streets, including South Westwood Hills, and community landmarks like the Talmud Torah Sch and Interlachen Country Club. These details preserve the mid-to-late 20th-century development of the Minneapolis suburbs before the final build-out of the 1990s.
