2019 Map of Hugo

About this map

Hugo and Forest Lake define this Washington County landscape, which is marked by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands. The area transitions from the more developed corridor along Forest Blvd N to the open acreage near Scandia in the northeast. This 2019 survey documents a network of rural roads and residential expansion that winds between numerous water bodies, such as Oneka Lake and Plaisted Lake. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burying grounds, including Saint John's Cem near the southern edge of Forest Lake and Walker Cem further east. The map also traces the path of Hardwood Cr as it flows through the central portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this lake-rich region.
