About this map

Lake Minnetonka dominates this western Hennepin County landscape, its complex shoreline of bays and points shaping the development of communities like Mound, Spring Park, and Island Park. The intricate waterway is crossed by landmarks such as the Halsted Bay Bridge and Seton Bridge, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous smaller bodies of water including Whaletail Lake and Langdon Lake.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from the Mound Union Cem to the Halsted Family Cem and Saint Bonifacius Catholic Cem. The map illustrates the late-20th and early-21st-century transition of the area into an established residential and academic hub, featuring Crown College in the south near St. Bonifacius. To the north, the rural-suburban character of Independence and Orono is defined by a network of local roads like Watertown Rd and Moline Rd that bypass the wetlands of Painter Cr.
