The Mississippi River carves a deep industrial and natural path through the heart of this region, separating the urban core of Saint Paul from the residential neighborhoods of West Saint Paul and South Saint Paul. This modern landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Saint Paul Downtown Airport Holman Field and the Metro Saint Paul Water Treatment Facility, yet it preserves significant heritage sites. The capital city's history is reflected in landmarks like Cathedral Hill and the James Hill Reference Library, while its diverse community roots are visible in numerous burial grounds, including the Temple of Aaron Cemetery, German Lutheran Cemetery, and Chesed Shel Emes Cemetery. To the east, the landscape transitions into more open recreation areas, including the chain of water around Lake Phalen and the expansive waters of Pigs Eye Lake, which contains Pigs Eye Island Number One.
