About this map

Orchard Lake and its surrounding suburbs define this portion of the Scott and Dakota county line during a period of significant residential expansion. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Crystal Lake, Marion Lake, and Kingsley Lake, which have become focal points for the communities of Burnsville, Savage, and Lakeville. The survey captures the suburban character of Orchard Garden and Argonne, where street grids like South Cross Dr and Alimagnet Pkwy indicate modern development patterns.

Industrial and recreational landmarks provide historical depth, from the slopes of Buck Hill to the sprawling grounds of Deer Park. The Credit River meanders through the western half of the quadrangle, passing beneath Edgewater Dr, while institutional sites such as the Regency Beauty Institute-Burnsville mark the commercial corridors of the era. This document preserves the exact placement of established neighborhoods like Antlers Park alongside the early 21st-century infrastructure of the southern Twin Cities metro.
