2022 Map of Orchard Lake

About this map

The suburban expansion south of the Twin Cities is documented here along the boundary of Scott Co and Dakota Co. Rapidly growing residential corridors and developed neighborhoods surround natural landmarks like Orchard Lake and Crystal Lake, illustrating the transition from rural townships into a dense network of communities including Savage, Burnsville, and Lakeville. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Credit River and prominent elevations such as Buck Hill, which stand in contrast to the structured grid of streets like 150th St W and Dakota Ave. Local community hubs and recreational areas are well-represented, from the historic Antlers Park on Marion Lake to smaller settlements like Argonne and Orchard Garden, providing a modern spatial record of this populous Minnesota region.
