About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates the eastern landscape of this area, defining the border between Dakota and Washington counties. This riverine environment includes the backwaters of Mooers Lake and River Lake, alongside the prominent Upper Grey Cloud Island and Lower Grey Cloud Island. To the west, the terrain transitions into a developed suburban and industrial mosaic, where settlements like Wescott, Roseport, and Pine Bend are situated amidst a network of glacial lakes including Sunfish Lake, Schmidt Lake, and Marcott Lakes.

Cultural and institutional landmarks are densely clustered in the northern reaches, including the Inver Hills Community College and the South St Paul Municipal Airport-Richard E Fleming Field. Several early religious sites and burial grounds, such as Salem Evangelical Kirche Cem, Old Emanuel Lutheran Church Cem, and Saint Patrick Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research and local heritage. The expansive Mississippi National River and Recreation Area preserves the river's natural character against the encroaching infrastructure of South Saint Paul and Newport.
