About this map

The Crow River winds along the western border of this Hennepin and Wright County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Rockford. This 2016 survey illustrates a region defined by its numerous glacial basins, ranging from the expansive Lake Sarah and Lake Independence to smaller named waters like Hafften Lake and Schwappauff Lake. The map details the suburban and rural character of the area, noting the distinct clusters of Greenfield, Independence, and Maple Plain.

Genealogists can identify several local burial grounds, including Elmwood Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Cem. Aviation history is represented by the presence of Ingleside Airport and Maple Airport. The integration of natural preservation is evident at the Lake Rebecca Park Reserve, which sits adjacent to the western wetlands. Local transport and residential growth are traced through a dense network of county roads and named streets like Babcock Blvd and Pioneer Creek Rd.
