2013 Map of Prior Lake

About this map

Upper Prior Lake and Lower Prior Lake dominate this Scott County landscape, centered on the community of Grainwood. The 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its numerous water bodies and islands, including Reeds Island and Lone Tree Island. Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds such as Saint Michaels Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Concord Cem. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Lydia and landmarks like Fish Lake reflect a more rural character compared to the growing residential corridors to the north. Significant recreational sites are established throughout, notably the Cleary Lake Regional Park Campground and the Cleary Lake Golf Course. The map also traces the winding course of the Credit River as it moves toward the northeast corner of the quadrangle.
