About this map

White Bear Lake dominates the western portion of this 1967 survey, its eastern shores lined with established communities like Dellwood, Mahtomedi, and Birchwood. The landscape is a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, ranging from the large Lake De Montreville to smaller named bodies like Echo Lake and Mann Lake. Post-war suburban growth is evident in the residential expansion of Maplewood and North ST Paul, while rural remnants such as Benson Airport and several Gravel Pits persist on the outskirts.

Social infrastructure is densely documented through family and community landmarks, including Lakeview Cem, Evergreen Cem, and numerous parochial and public schools like St Peter Sch and North St Paul High Sch. Transportation patterns are marked by the Duluth Junction and a prominent Railroad Grade cutting through the eastern woodlots of Grant, illustrating the transition from a rail-dependent rural landscape to a modern automotive-centered suburb.
