About this map

Lake Elmo and the surrounding lake country of Washington County are shown here during a period of significant suburban expansion east of St. Paul. The map captures the rapid development of Oakdale and Woodbury, where new residential grids begin to replace agricultural land. This transition is marked by the presence of several educational institutions, such as Archbishop Murray Sch and Transfiguration Sch, alongside more established landmarks like the Correctional Institution.

A network of water bodies, including Eagle Point Lake, Tanners Lake, and Battle Creek Lake, dictates the local geography and road placement. The map also identifies historical religious sites like St John Ch and its associated St John Cem, providing important reference points for genealogists. Communication infrastructure is prominent, with several clusters of Radio Towers and a specific tower for Wrcr scattered across the township lines.
