1967 Map of White Bear Lake East

About this map

White Bear Lake dominates the western half of this suburban landscape, featuring the residential enclave of Manitou Island and the shoreline communities of White Bear Beach, Dellwood, and Birchwood. This 1967 survey, revised with late 1970s urban data, shows the expansion of Mahtomedi and Willernie as the region transformed from a lakeside retreat into a core part of the Twin Cities metropolitan fringe. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the northern lake country, passing Duluth Junction and linking small settlements near Echo Lake and Long Lake. To the south, the development of North ST Paul and Maplewood is evident, balanced by the numerous smaller basins like Lake De Montreville, Lake Olson, and Lake Jane. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Lakeview Cem, Evergreen Cem, and St Marys Cem, alongside numerous local schools like Wildwood Sch and Cowern Sch.
