About this map

Lake Minnetonka dominates the landscape of this suburban Minneapolis area, shaping the layout of communities like Mound and Saga Hill. The intricate shoreline is marked by numerous residential points and bays, including Jennings Bay, Harrison Bay, and Cooks Bay. This aquatic network is complemented by a dense collection of smaller inland water bodies such as Dutch Lake, Langdon Lake, and Whaletail Lake.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the cluster of burial sites, ranging from the Halsted Family Cem to the Saint Bonifacius Catholic Church Cem near Saint Bonifacius. The mapping records a transition between the developed shores of Phelps Island and the rural reaches of Independence and Lyndale. Distinctive landmarks such as the Halsted Bay Bridge and Seton Bridge highlight the engineering required to navigate this water-rich terrain where islands like Crane Island and Enchanted Island remain prominent features of the local geography.
