2022 Map of Minneapolis South

About this map

The Mississippi River and its urban chain of lakes define the geography of this Minneapolis metropolitan landscape. From the industrial and recreational corridor of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area near Nicollet Island, the map traces a dense grid of neighborhoods south through Minneapolis and into the suburbs of Edina and Richfield. Highlighting the era's focus on cultural and educational institutions, the map identifies hubs like the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and the Dunwoody College of Technology. Significant open space is preserved through a series of large water bodies and memorial grounds, including Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, and the expansive Lakewood Cemetery. Notable for genealogists are the numerous burial sites like Saint Mary's Cemetery and the Minneapolis Jewish Cemetery, providing a detailed record of the community's spiritual and social history.
