About this map

Watertown serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along the South Fork Crow River. The settlement pattern in this part of Carver and Hennepin Counties is defined by its numerous water bodies and legacy burial sites. The map documents several important community markers, including Saint Paul's Catholic Cem, Trinity Cem, and Oakland Cem, which provide essential points of reference for local family history.

Glacial topography is evident through the cluster of lakes such as Swede Lake, Rice Lake, and the northern reaches of Lake Waconia. Beyond the established centers of Saint Bonifacius and Independence, the map identifies smaller rural points like Ames Farm and Boll Farm. The transition from river valley to upland lake country is facilitated by a grid of county highways and roads like Co Hwy-20, marking the continued growth of Minnetrista and its surroundings.
