2016 Map of Watertown

About this map

The South Fork Crow River winds through this landscape on the boundary of Carver, Wright, and Hennepin counties, anchoring the developed center of Watertown. This area is characterized by its numerous water bodies, ranging from the large expanse of Lake Waconia in the south to the smaller Swede Lake, Mud Lake, and Rice Lake further north. The settlement of Saint Bonifacius sits on the eastern edge near Old State Hwy 7, while the small community of Maple is positioned near the northern shore of Lake Waconia. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are recorded, including Saint Paul's Catholic Cem and Trinity Cem in the river valley, and the more secluded Swede Lake Cem and Oakland Cem. The township grid system is well-established here, connecting these lakeside communities via a network of routes such as Co Rd 20 and Watertown Rd.
