About this map

The South Fork Crow River meanders through this landscape, defining the geographic orientation of Watertown and its surrounding townships. This 2022 survey captures a cluster of settlements including Independence, Mayer, and St. Bonifacius, positioned near the borders where Wright, Carver, and Hennepin counties meet. The area is characterized by its numerous water bodies, from the expansive Lake Waconia along the southern edge to smaller features like Swede Lake, Rice Lake, and Goose Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Saint Paul's Catholic Cem, Trinity Cem, and Oakland Cem. The network of county roads, such as Co RD 10 and Watertown Rd, connects these residential hubs to the natural drainage systems of Deer Creek and Pioneer Cr, illustrating the modern balance of rural preservation and suburban growth in the western Twin Cities region.
