About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates this 2019 survey, carving through the heart of St. Paul and defining the borders of several East Metro communities. To the north and east, the landscape is dotted with prominent water bodies like Lake Phalen and Beaver Lake, while the river itself features landforms such as Raspberry Island and Harriet Island. This particular map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it documents a high concentration of established burial grounds, including the historic Oakland Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Sons of Jacob Cem.

Industrial and aviation history is represented by the St Paul Downtown Airport Holman Field, situated on the riverbank across from the urban core. To the south, the river widens into the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, encompassing Pigs Eye Lake and the marshy terrain of Pigs Eye Island Number One. This area illustrates the complex transition from the dense street grids of West St. Paul to the protected wetlands and growing suburban stretches of Inver Grove Heights and Newport.
