About this map

The Minnesota River flows through the heart of this suburban landscape, dividing the communities of Chaska and Shakopee as the Twin Cities metropolitan area continues its outward expansion. The industrial heritage of the valley is evident in the presence of the Brickyard Clayhole and Firemens Clayhole, remnants of the region's significant brick-making era. Numerous bodies of water dot the terrain, from larger lakes like Lake Minnewashta and Lake Riley to smaller landmarks such as Courthouse Lake and Nyssens Lake.

Local history is preserved in a series of religious and community sites, including Saint Hubert's Cem, Moravian Cem, and Saint Marks Cem. Modern infrastructure and educational institutions like the Minnesota Sch Of Business-Shakopee serve the growing populations of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The map also details leisure spaces, such as the Bluff Creek Golf Course and The Preserve Golf Course, highlighting the shift from a river-and-rail economy toward a residential and recreational landscape.
