About this map

Lake Minnetonka dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline of bays and points defining the development of Mound and Spring Park. The map captures the complex geography of the western lake region, where deep inlets like Halsted Bay and Cooks Bay are separated by prominent landforms such as Phelps Island and Eagle Bluff. The presence of the Luce Line railroad corridor suggests the era's vital transportation links, connecting the lakeside communities to the surrounding agricultural and wooded areas.

South of the main lake, the terrain shifts toward smaller, more isolated water bodies like Schutz Lake and Lake Zumbra, tucked within the Carver Park Reserve. This area preserves a more rural character, anchored by the Jesuit Seminary and the settlement of St Bonifacius. Throughout the quadrangle, local landmarks like the Mound Cem and Copeland Sch provide specific points of interest for genealogical research, documenting the community infrastructure of mid-century Hennepin County.
