2013 Map of Orchard Lake

About this map

Buck Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this suburban landscape south of the Twin Cities, where the Buck Hill Ski Area and Orchard Gardens Golf Course define the local recreational character. The area is defined by its numerous glacial lakes, including Orchard Lake, Marion Lake, and Crystal Lake, which are surrounded by a dense network of residential streets and arterial roads like Co Hwy 42 and Egan Dr. This 2013 survey illustrates the high level of development reached by the early 21st century, particularly in established settlements like Orchard Garden, Argonne, and Deer Park. While modern infrastructure dominates, the map also identifies historical community spaces such as Antlers Park and several large-scale green spaces like the Legends Golf Course, showing how the natural drainage of the Credit River has been integrated into the modern built environment.
