2010 Map of Shakopee

About this map

The Minnesota River corridor anchors this modern study of Carver and Hennepin Counties, where the growing suburban landscapes of Chaska, Chanhassen, and Shakopee intersect. A notable concentration of spiritual and genealogical sites is preserved throughout the quadrangle, including the Moravian Cemetery, Saint Hubert's Cemetery, and Guardian Angel Cemetery. Educational and recreational development is evident in the presence of the University of Saint Thomas and the Bluff Creek Golf Course. The map records a complex hydrological system of glacial lakes and wetlands, such as Rice Marsh Lake, Hazeltine Lake, and Lake Minnewashta, connected by Bluff Creek and Riley Creek. This 2010 survey documents the area just as rapid infrastructure expansion met established historical settlements like Jonathan.
