The Minnesota River corridor and its expansive wetlands dominate this 2016 survey, carving a wide valley between the growing suburbs of Hennepin and Dakota counties. Within this protected landscape, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area encompasses a complex network of water bodies, including the elongated Long Meadow Lake and the industrial-adjacent Black Dog Lake. This area reflects the mid-century transition from smaller settlements like Nicols and Cedar Grove into the sprawling residential and commercial centers of Burnsville, Eagan, and Apple Valley.
