About this map

White Bear Lake and its eastern shoreline anchor this landscape of dense residential development and numerous glacial basins. The interconnected communities of Mahtomedi, Willernie, and Birchwood Village illustrate a pattern of suburban growth that wraps around the waterfront, including the residential enclave on Manitou Island. Institutional presence is significant in the southern portion of the sheet, where the Century Community and Technical College and North Saint Paul Community School serve the expanding populations of Maplewood and North St. Paul.

Tracing the historical infrastructure reveals the importance of rail and road networks, such as Duluth Junction and the Gateway State Trail, which follows former rail alignments through the area. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the cluster of burial grounds near the Ramsey and Washington county line, including Lakeview Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. Farther east, the terrain opens into a less densely settled pocket around Pine Tree Lake and Lake De Montreville.
