About this map

The Minnesota River corridor anchors this modern topographic survey, defining the southern boundaries of Chaska and Shakopee. The landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and residential expansion, where suburban developments in Chanhassen and Hazeltine wrap around established water bodies like Lake Susan and Hazeltine Lake. A notable industrial legacy is visible in the southwestern quadrant, where the Brickyard Clayhole and Firemens Clayhole remain as distinct terrain features near the riverbanks, reflecting the area's history of brick manufacturing and clay extraction.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Chanhassen Pioneer Cem and numerous denominational grounds such as Saint Marks Cem and the Moravian Cem. The map captures the meeting of three counties—Carver, Hennepin, and Scott—illustrating how transit corridors like Lyman Blvd and Riley Lake Rd have integrated these communities into the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area while preserving natural spaces like the Hesse Wildlife Pond.
