About this map

The Crow River and its various reservoirs and tributaries define the landscape of western Hennepin and eastern Wright counties in the early 21st century. This survey documents a chain of glacial lakes, including the expansive Lake Independence and Lake Sarah, which have long served as focal points for both recreation and settlement. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds such as Greenwood Cem, Elmwood Cem, and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem near Loretto.

Transitioning from agricultural roots to suburban residential patterns, the area maintains distinct community centers at Rockford, Maple Plain, and Greenfield. The transportation network is anchored by MN-55 and Us-12, while smaller hubs like Ingleside Airport and Maple Airport suggest a continued reliance on regional aviation. Public land use is prominent through Rebecca Park and established youth facilities such as Camp Ihduhapi on the shores of Lake Independence.
