About this map

The Chain of Lakes and the Mississippi River dominate this urban landscape, illustrating the city's identity as a place where water and residential growth are inextricably linked. The residential neighborhoods of Kenwood Gables and the rail-side district of Glenwood Junction sit north of the major recreational waters including Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, and Lake Harriet. To the northeast, the Mississippi River carves through the city center, framing historic landmarks such as Nicollet Island and Hennepin Island, which long served as the industrial heart of the region.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several significant burial grounds documented, including Lakewood Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Oak Hill Cem. Cultural and civic landmarks are also clearly marked, from the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome downtown to institutions of higher learning like the Dunwoody Coll Of Technology and Minneapolis Coll Of Art And Design. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of Minneapolis just before the transformation of several major lakefront and downtown features.
