2016 Map of Hugo

About this map

Hugo and the surrounding Washington County landscape are defined by a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands as they appeared in 2016. Large water bodies such as Oneka Lake, Big Marine Lake, and the connected School Section Lake and N School Section Lake dominate the eastern and central sections of the quadrangle. This era shows the continued suburban development of the region, anchored by the settlement at Weston and the primary transit corridor following the path of Hardwood Cr. Local landmarks provide vital touchstones for genealogists and researchers, including the Saint John's Cem and the Withrow Cem. On the northwestern edge, the Forest Lake Airport highlights the local infrastructure. The map preserves a moment when the area's agricultural past was increasingly intersecting with modern residential expansion, yet the numerous lakes like Sunset Lake and Rice Lake remained the primary topographical features.
