About this map

Lake Minnetonka dominates this 2016 survey, its complex shoreline defining the social and physical geography of Mound, Minnetrista, and Spring Park. The map documents a landscape where water and land are inextricably linked, featuring numerous named points and islands such as Enchanted Island, Eagle Island, and Hardscrabble Point. These features reflect a history of lakeside development and seasonal habitation that transformed the area into a premier residential and recreational destination.

Away from the immediate shoreline, the map reveals the deeper agricultural and community roots of the region. Local heritage is preserved in sites like the Saint Bonifacius Catholic Church Cem and the German Baptist Cem. Waterways such as Sixmile Creek and Minnehaha Cr connect the larger lakes, including Whaletail Lake and Parley Lake, illustrating the hydrologic network that supported early settlement in Saint Bonifacius and Lyndale.
