About this map

Lake Waconia and its prominent Coney Island anchor this Carver County landscape, illustrating a region where recreational waters and agricultural traditions intersect. The city of Waconia is shown in detail, with its grid extending toward Burandt Lake and several historical burial grounds, including the Waconia Public Cem and Saint Josephs Cem. Further south, the map documents the smaller settlements of Benton, Cologne, and Bongards, which are connected by a network of state roads like MN-5 and MN-284.

Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous community landmarks. Genealogists can locate several rural cemeteries, such as the Cologne United Methodist Cem and the Saint Johns United Church of Christ Cem near Bongards. The terrain is defined by a glacial landscape of numerous small basins, including Winkler Lake, Rice Lake, and Hydes Lake, alongside the winding course of Carver Cr. Notable local aviation history is represented by the Empire Farm Strip Airport tucked between these water bodies.
