1952 Map of White Bear Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Pleasant Lake and Vadnais Lake anchor this 1950s landscape, which illustrates the transition of northern Ramsey County from rural acreage to suburban infrastructure. The presence of the St Paul Waterworks, a prominent Pumping Station, and the Aqueduct system reveals how the region’s abundant surface water was already being harnessed for urban utility. The rail networks of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha RR converge at transit points like Cardigan Junction, facilitating the growth of settlements such as Little Canada and White Bear Lake. Neighborhood development is evidenced by numerous local institutions, including the Davidson Sch, Snail Lake Sch, and the Union Mission Camp. Along the eastern shore of Bald Eagle Lake, the community of Bald Eagle and its Fairground stand as established local landmarks amidst a terrain dotted with cemeteries like Bethany Cem.
