1952 Map of White Bear Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Bald Eagle Lake and Pleasant Lake anchor this early 1950s survey of the northern St. Paul suburbs, where an intricate network of wetlands and small lakes shaped the early development of Roseville and Little Canada. The map documents a critical period of suburbanization, capturing the transition from a rural landscape of schools like Snail Lake Sch and Gall Sch to more modern infrastructure. Notable landmarks of the era include the Pumping Station and St Paul Waterworks, which managed the vital hydrologic resources of Vadnais Lake. The landscape is further defined by its wooded areas, most notably the John H Allison Forest, and the transportation corridors of the Northern Pacific and Sault Ste Marie and Minneapolis rail lines. Family and community heritage is grounded in sites such as Bethany Cem and the Lake Vadnais Ch.
