About this map

Lake Johanna and Turtle Lake anchor the glacial landscape of the northern Twin Cities suburbs as documented in 2013. This era shows the dense suburban maturation of Saint Anthony, Lauderdale, and the village of Hilltop, where residential street grids tightly surround numerous lakes and ponds. Educational institutions and religious centers are prominent features, with campuses such as Bethel Univ and United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities occupying significant acreage near Valentine Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of memorial sites throughout the region, including Sunset Memorial Park Cem, Roselawn Cem, and Saint John the Baptist Catholic Cem. The map traces the intricate drainage of Rice Cr as it flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle near Circle Pines. Recreation and open space are integrated into the urban fabric through the Columbia Golf Course and Brightwood Hills Golf Course, while the northern portion of Minneapolis occupies the southwest corner of the survey.
