About this map

Pleasant Lake and the residential enclaves of North Oaks anchor the northwestern portion of this Ramsey County survey, which documents the post-war suburban transformation of the Twin Cities' northern perimeter. The landscape is defined by its glaciated hydrology, from the large basins of Bald Eagle Lake and White Bear Lake to the interconnected chain of John H Alli Vadnais Lake and Sucker Lake. A Pumping Station and several flowing wells near Vadnais Heights highlight the region's importance to the local water supply system.

Transportation corridors like the Burlington Northern and the Stillwater Line intersect with a rapidly densifying grid of schools and institutions, including Lakewood State Jr College and St Marys Sch. The map also captures several local landmarks like the Gem Lake Golf Course and the Union Mission Camp, alongside established communities such as Little Canada, Roseville, and Maplewood, reflecting a period of significant civic expansion and infrastructure development.
